Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) Advances

The type of MRI now being utilized, known as Diffusion Tensor Imaging, promises to be more sensitive than a normal MRI, especially in detection of white matter brain injury. It has the ability to see and is more sensitive to diffuse axonal injury and the effects of stretched neurons. Persons with ongoing TBI symptoms in the face of normal MRI should consider DTI to rule out more subtle damage. (Wilde EA et al. 2006).
