Neurocognitive and behavioral symptoms can persist for
some TBI patients, despite the absence of imaging
findings on routine imaging. A forensic population of
172 patients that underwent trauma imaging protocol,
were divided by injury severity and imaging findings.
Majority of subjects were classified as being mild,
77.3%. For each severity group the rates of positive
findings in acute CT, FLAIR and SWI sequences are
described. The importance of using newer imaging
techniques for TBI subjects that shows persistent
symptoms is highlighted.
