The main purpose of this book is to present emerging neuroimaging data in order to define the role of primary and secondary structural and hemodynamic disturbances in different phases of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and to analyze the potential of diffusion tensor MRI, tractography and CT perfusion imaging in evaluating the dynamics of TBI. The authors present a new MRI classification of brain stem and hemispheric cortical/subcortical damage localization that is of significant prognostic value. New data are provided regarding the pathogenesis and dynamics of diffuse and focal brain injuries...

This volume presents emerging neuroimaging data that define more clearly the role of primary and secondary structural and hemodynamic disturbances in different phases of traumatic brain injury. It also analyzes the efficacy of imaging techniques in TBI cases.
