Systematic review confirms diffusion tensor imaging reveals microstructural changes in white matter in mTBI, suggesting its potential in clinical assessment.
Key Points
Diffusion tensor imaging shows promise in detecting microstructural injury in mild traumatic brain injury.
The review included 79 studies highlighting DTI abnormalities in acute, chronic, and remote mTBI cases.
Published literature reveals associations between DTI parameters and cognitive performance in mTBI patients.
Consistency in methodology is essential for the effective use of DTI as a biomarker in clinical settings.
