MR Imaging and Brain Trauma

Drs Pejman Maralani and Sean Symons eloquently and accurately describe in their Preface the substantial socioeconomic impact of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Our understanding of the biologic basis of TBI is evolving, and the initial diagnostic modalities, such as computed tomography, have been augmented by techniques that measure functional and metabolic alterations resulting from the traumatic injury. The individual and socioeconomic sequelae of TBI have also raised concerns about the involvement of the medicolegal community and the need to ensure we have proper health care resources to improve TBI prognosis.
