Traumatic brain injury
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) results from receiving a blow to the head, perhaps due to a car accident, fall or sports injury. TBI is the leading cause of death or disability for people aged under 45 in the US and is a major risk factor for dementia later in life.
The role of perfusion imaging in TBI
Perfusion imaging is a valuable tool to monitor the long-term effects of TBI. In the weeks and months after the initial injury, perfusion can reveal subtle effects that other imaging techniques miss, guiding prognosis, rehabilitation and treatment. Being fully non-invasive, cost-effective and widely available, ASL is perfectly suited to long-term monitoring of TBI patients and can also help screen for future dementia risk.
QI’s TBI reporting software
QI's radiological reporting software processes ASL scans into an easy-to-read report which helps spot the long-term impact of TBI. Our perfusion abnormality technology clearly locates the focal point and extent of injury, which informs prognosis and rehabilitation.
Case report of a female TBI patient shows asymmetric hypoperfusion with focal point in the right frontal cortex.
