This recent discovery can prove helpful in diagnosing when a routine concussion can cause lasting cognitive problems. Patients who experience concussion following a head injury show no signs of damage in a traditional MRI scan or CT. On passing the basic neurological test, they are sent back home without a treatment. Researchers examined diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). This advanced form of MRI facilitates the study of microscopic movement of water molecules within the white matter of brain.
