Abstract
Correction: MRI Evidence for Altered Venous Drainage and Intracranial Compliance in Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
Highlights
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) affects over 1.4 million individuals annually in the United States alone [1]
The majority of TBI are classified as mild traumatic brain injury defined as a blunt head trauma resulting in transient confusion, disorientation, impaired or loss of consciousness lasting 30 minutes or less in combination with a number of unspecific neurological and cognitive symptoms [1,2,3]
All subjects were questioned in detail regarding general and neurological health and completed a detailed standardized questionnaire based on the criteria for mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC)
Summary
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) affects over 1.4 million individuals annually in the United States alone [1]. The majority of TBI are classified as mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) defined as a blunt head trauma resulting in transient confusion, disorientation, impaired or loss of consciousness lasting 30 minutes or less in combination with a number of unspecific neurological and cognitive symptoms [1,2,3]. Advanced MR based imaging and spectroscopy techniques, such as functional MRI (fMRI) [6,7], diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) [8,9,10], and MR spectroscopy [11] have shown to be more sensitive in detecting alterations in the brain following mTBI. MRS demonstrated widespread cellular metabolic dysfunction including a decrease of N-acetyl aspartate and an increase in total choline. These changes correlated with neuropsychological parameters after mTBI [11]
