Predicting Motor and Cognitive Outcomes from MRIs of Brain Structure in Children with Acquired Brain Injury: A Pilot Study

Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) describes a range of brain injuries occurring after birth, including tumor, traumatic brain injury or stroke. Although MRIs are routinely used for diagnosis, prediction of outcome following brain injury is challenging. Quantitative structural information from brain images may provide an opportunity to predict patient outcomes; however, due to the high prevalence of severe pathology in children with ABI, quantitative approaches must be robust to injury severity.
