Abstract:

In 2011, the Department of Defense (DoD) prepared a congressional report summarizing the effectiveness of seven neuroimaging modalities for the detection of traumatic brain injury (TBI). The report included computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), transcranial Doppler (TCD), positron emission tomography, single photon emission computed tomography, electrophysiologic techniques (magnetoencephalography and electroencephalography), and functional near-infrared spectroscopy. For this report, neuroimaging experts identified the most relevant peer-reviewed publications and assessed the quality of the literature for each of these imaging technique in the clinical and research settings. Although CT, MRI, and TCD were determined to be the most useful modalities in the clinical setting, no single imaging modality proved sufficient for all patients due to the heterogeneity of TBI. All imaging modalities reviewed demonstrated the potential to emerge as part of future clinical care. This article describes and updates the results of the DoD report and also expands on the use of angiography in patients with TBI.
