Brain Imaging Detects Lesions After Concussion, Mild Head Injury

Brain imaging soon after a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) or a mild concussion can detect small lesions that may provide a future target for treating those with mTBI. Studies of a deceased individual’s brain tissue have shown that various types of lesions are linked to more severe TBI.

Researchers believe that imaging may be used to detect and distinguish between these lesions in a person living with mTBI, noting that these findings have significant implications for treatment. Click here to read the full story.
