Development of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Biomarkers for Traumatic Brain Injury

The purpose of this research program is to develop an imaging-based protocol to improve diagnosis and outcome prediction of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). It includes the development of a modern technology for processing susceptibility maps to evaluate the presence of bleeding and deoxyhemoglobin and the study of sensitivity of new MR imaging technology in detecting mild TBI. Our major findings relate directly to our specific aims. First, …
