Diffusion Tensor Imaging and White Matter Lesions at the Subacute Stage in Mild Traumatic Brain Injury With Persistent Neurobehavioral Impairment.

The article presents a study of whether magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at the subacute stage can detect lesions that are linked with poor functional outcome in mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) with persistent behavioral impairment by using anatomical images (T1) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). The study involved 23 mTBI patients and 23 healthy volunteers. According to the findings, DTI at this stage may be a predictive marker of poor outcome in this condition. One cited limitation of the study was the small patients' sample size.
