mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) affects millions of people each year. A treatment is unknown. He we present a potential therapeutic agent, eryrhropoietin, which has been shown to be beneficial in other brain injuries as TBI or global ischemia. We used MRI, especially DTI, to quantify the effects of erythropoietin on mTBI.
