简要总结

We will utilize a set of imaging modalities including computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), and a suite of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) tools, to investigate the changes in the human brain resulting from mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI).

详细描述

We will recruit mTBI subjects and control subjects. Each subject will undergo the set of imaging modalities, and the results will be analyzed for differences at the structural, physiological, and molecular levels. The long term goal of this research is the development of a method to diagnose mTBI based on physical markers. This is a phased project beginning with a pilot study followed by future studies with larger sample sizes.
