Current and prospective roles of magnetic resonance imaging in mild traumatic brain injury.

ABSTRACT: There is unmet clinical need for biomarkers to predict recovery or the development of long-term sequelae of mild traumatic brain injury, a highly prevalent condition causing a constellation of disabling symptoms. A substantial proportion of patients live with long-lasting sequelae affecting their quality of life and ability to work. At present, symptoms can be assessed through clinical tests; however, there are no imaging or laboratory tests fully reflective of pathophysiology routinely used by clinicians to characterize post-concussive symptoms. Magnetic resonance imaging has potential to link subtle pathophysiological alterations to clinical outcomes. Here, we review the state of the art of MRI research in adults with mild traumatic brain injury and provide recommendations to facilitate
