Multimodal Neurodiagnostic Imaging of Traumatic Brain Injury and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

Completed

Conditions studied: Traumatic Brain Injury, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

In brief

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the brains of persons with and without traumatic brain injury differ in a meaningful way when advanced technology images of the brain are taken using three newer technologies that visualize the brain using a combination of external/internal magnetic fields and radioactive tracers (molecules that emit detectable particles). The hope is that the results of this study will validate tools (help prove that diagnostic tools actually detect disease) for the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic brain injuries (TBI).
