Abstract

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant public health issue and imaging has a key role to play in the diagnosis, monitoring, and prognosis of TBI. While computed tomography and, to a lesser extent, conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are the main modalities for the imaging of TBI, advanced modalities such as diffusion weighted imaging/diffusion tensor imaging, functional MRI, perfusion imaging, MR spectroscopy, magnetization transfer imaging, magnetoencephalography, single-photon emission CT, and positron emission tomography will likely have an increasing role in the future. While these advanced modalities currently lack the evidence to support routine use clinically, they may have some utility at the group/cohort level in clinical trials.
