Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This project aims to study the prognostic ability of various MRI imaging markers in the evaluation of TBI patients. Cognitive, social, and occupational recovery will be measured at each time point, and compared to MRI findings. Healthy volunteers will serve as a comparison to the TBI patients.

It is hypothesized that novel MRI markers of metabolism, hemodynamics, functional connectivity, and tissue microstructure will be related to the clinical status of the patient, as well as their social and occupational outcomes.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The goal of this study is to identify advanced magnetic resonance imaging markers that can serve as a prognostic marker in the evaluation and management of traumatic brain injury patients.

Magnetic resonance imaging and cognitive testing (when possible) will be performed in the acute (within 10 days following injury), and recovery stages (about 1 month, about 6 months,and about 18 months). The relationship between the advanced magnetic resonance imaging markers and the clinical condition of the patient will be evaluated at each time point to determine which combination of imaging markers best describe the current clinical status of the patient and which markers best predict a patient's outcome status.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Severe Traumatic Brain Injury Group

The severe traumatic brain injury group are patients admitted to the study with an admission GCS between 3 and 8.

No interventions assigned to this group

Moderate Head Injury Group

The moderate head injury group are patients admitted to the study with an admission GCS from 9 to 12.

No interventions assigned to this group

Mild Head Injury Group

The mild head injury group are patients admitted to the study with an admission GCS from 13 to 15.

No interventions assigned to this group

Healthy Volunteer Group

Healthy volunteers will be selected to match the age distribution of the TBI groups. They must be absent of any abnormal radiological findings.

No interventions assigned to this group
