Neuroimaging biomarkers in mild traumatic brain injury prognosis
Quick fact
In mild traumatic brain injury, standard CT scans are often normal, yet advanced MRI techniques like diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) can detect subtle white matter damage that predicts slower recovery and persistent symptoms.
Why this is interesting
You've probably heard that a concussion is 'just a bump on the head'—but what if a simple scan could predict whether your recovery will take days or months?
