DIFFUSION TENSOR IMAGING ASSESSMENTS
The degree of axonal injury, a form of damage to the white matter connections in the brain, is key to how well someone will recover function after a brain injury. However, it is hard to quantify axonal injury and assessments remain limited. Diffusion tensor imaging is an advanced imaging technique which can be analysed to provide a quantitative measure of axonal injury. In most cases, diffusion imaging is used in research settings to test differences in groups, but using new methodology refined by Professor David Sharp and his team, we can now assess for the presence of axonal injury in large white matter tracts in individuals.
As part of the diagnostic imaging suite we provide an individualised report based on the presence of axonal injury using diffusion tensor imaging. This technique has already been applied to breakthrough research of brain health in rugby players and is published in the internationally renowned journal, Brain.
