As concussion, even when symptomatic, can be occult on routine imaging, there is clinical need for a more accurate diagnostic assessment. The objective of this study was to assess the utility of brain magnetic resonance elastography (MRE), a non-invasive neuroimaging technique, to detect changes in brain stiffness in concussed patients relative to healthy controls.
