Cover Story: Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as a “bump, blow, or jolt to the head, or penetrating head injury, that results in disruption of the normal function of the brain”. According to the American College of Surgeons, for patients with suspected TBI, the primary goal of treatment is to prevent the secondary TBI. In this review, we discuss the neuroanatomy, type, and severity of TBI, and criteria for neuroimaging. It is widely accepted that for moderate or severe TBI, the most appropriate initial neuroimaging study is a non-contrast CT scan of the head. We also discuss advanced neuroimaging techniques including perfusion imaging and diffusion tensor imaging, as they may help in the future with the clinical care of TBI patients. View Paper here.
