How are traumatic brain injuries diagnosed?
For decades, people have suffered concussions and brain injuries which were not properly diagnosed. With the development of CT scans which visualize tissue in the brain and MRI, magnetic resonance imaging, doctors now have technologies that deliver far more information about brain function. Injuries that would have gone undiagnosed before the advent of these technologies now can be clearly seen on a screen. The traumatized area of the brain can be identified and an appropriate diagnosis made.
