Researchers found that DTI MRI scans can improve concussion diagnosis and identify patients at risk of persistent symptoms.

University of Cambridge researchers discovered that diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) MRI scans can improve concussion diagnosis, identifying patients at risk of persistent symptoms. DTI measures water movement in the brain and provides detailed images of pathways connecting different brain areas. Studying over 1,000 patients, researchers improved prognostic models for patients with concussion who had normal CT brain scans, potentially helping healthcare services better target resources and support for those at risk of long-term symptoms.
