Each year, an estimated 1.7 million Americans sustain
traumatic brain injury (TBI), often resulting in
devastating neurological disabilities. TRACK-TBI is an
NIH-funded study with the goal to create a large, high
quality neuroimaging and clinical database. Diffusion
tensor imaging (DTI) has shown promise in prior
single-center studies and a major objective of TRACK-TBI
is to validate its utility. A critical need for a
multicenter imaging study is to minimize the inter-site
variability of quantitative neuroimaging biomarkers. In
this work, we present initial results that suggest the
feasibility of standardizing DTI across 3T scanners in a
large-scale neuroimaging research study.
