New MRI tool lights up unseen brain damage in TBI patients
The Associated Press describes a new high-definition fiber tracking MRI technique tested on civilians and military personnel to reveal hidden brain injuries. Dr. Walter Schneider leads Pitt's team and studies show the method can map white matter tracts and reveal damage not seen by standard scans. Daniel Stankard, a Pitt patient, showed partial nerve breaks predicted by the test and later regained movement.
