Diffusion tensor imaging is a promising biomarker of mild Traumatic Brain Injury and concussion, but it has not been refined sufficiently for diagnosis in individual subjects. In this study, we demonstrate that spherical mean technique (SMT) diffusion MRI can detect post-concussion changes in single subjects over the acute recovery period.
