Traumatic Brain Injury Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging Research Roadmap Development Project
Abstract
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a public health problem of immense magnitude and immediate importance that has become endemic among military personnel and veterans. Imaging biomarkers of TBI are needed to support diagnosis and therapy and to predict TBI consequences while avoiding further injury. Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging has potential to become the non-invasive tool of choice for TBI structural assessment. Despite its potential, realizing the benefits of diffusion MRI in TBI requires a base of evidence for decision making that requires multi-organizational coordination and planning. The purpose of this proposed research is to synthesize a roadmap for diffusion MR imaging in brain traumatic injury that can advance the field and deliver the benefits most effectively in the shortest period of time. Essential steps toward implementation of the plan will be taken thereafter.
