Summary
Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) represents a significant public health issue in Australian communities. Complications can include prolonged symptoms, depression and progressive deterioration of brain function. Clinical management of mTBI hinges on accurate assessment of recovery. The aim of the current study is to investigate the role of novel functional brain imaging techniques such as diffusion tensor imaging and connectivity studies, in the assessment of brain disturbance following mTBI.
