Simultaneous detection of the gray matter and white
matter microstructural lesions is important in
understanding the pathophysiologic mechanisms following
brain injury. In this study, we applied multivariate
analysis to assess gray matter and white matter
microstructural changes in mild TBI (mTBI) patients with
persistent post-concussive symptoms. Our findings
support that multivariate analysis is superior to
conventional univariate analysis in detecting aberrant
white matter and gray matter changes in mTBI patients
with post-concussive syndrome.
