Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) was performed one-two years after severe traumatic brain injury in a cohort of pre-adolescent and adolescent children. The study investigated the relationships between DTI measures and variations in performance for memory and executive function, and overall clinical dysfunction. Mean diffusivity (MD) in the fornix correlated with learning and verbal tasks. MD in the corpus callosum and global white matter was related to global fuction.
