It is feasible that
concussion induced effects in adolescents can be assessed using connectometry
based on diffusion MRI.
Figure 1. The tracks with segments whose QA
(quantitative anisotropy) values positively correlated with concussion history
shown in mosaic format in axial (top-left) and coronal (top-right) orientation
as well as 3D visualization in glass brain (bottom).
Figure 2. The tracks with segments whose MD
(mean diffusivity) values positively correlated with concussion history shown
in mosaic format in axial (top-left) and coronal (top-right) orientation as
well as 3D visualization in glass brain (bottom).
