Diffusion tensor imaging quantifies the asymmetry (fractional anisotropy; FA) and amount of
water diffusion (mean diffusivity/apparent diffusion coefficient; MD/ADC) and has been used …

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) represents a significant public health problem in modern
societies. It is primarily a consequence of traffic-related accidents and falls. Other recently …

This study was designed to (i) evaluate the influence of age on diffusion tensor imaging
measures of white matter assessed using tract-based spatial statistics;(ii) determine if mild …

Approximately 300–550 children per 100,000 sustain a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI)
each year, of whom∼ 25–30% have long-term cognitive problems. Following mTBI, free …

Traumatic axonal injury (TAI) contributes significantly to mortality and morbidity after
traumatic brain injury (TBI), but its identification is still a diagnostic challenge because of the …

We explored the prognostic value of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) parameters of selected
white matter (WM) tracts in predicting neuropsychological outcome, both at baseline and 6 …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The relationship between white matter disruption and
cognitive dysfunction of patients with mTBI in the chronic stage remains unclear. The aim of …

Diffuse axonal injury (DAI) that follows traumatic brain injury (TBI) is thought to be a major
contributor to neurocognitive dysfunction that sometimes follows TBI. Conventional magnetic …

The acute stage of moderate-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) entails the rapid unfolding of
pathophysiological processes secondary to biomechanical damage that eventually stabilize …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Mild traumatic brain injury results in a heterogeneous
constellation of deficits and symptoms that persist in a subset of patients. This prospective …
