Despite high prevalence of concussion in contact sports, there is still a lack of reliable, unbiased biomarkers of brain injury and recovery following sport-related concussion. The changes in imaging biomarkers after concussion are generally subtle such that signs of abnormalities are detected only in group analyses with large cohorts. Although diffusion MRI techniques show promise, detecting injury in individual subjects is still a challenge. The goal of this project is to identify potential signatures of brain injury in an individual subject with concussion using an unsupervised learning method using parameters derived from diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI).
