Neuroimaging Correlates of Functional Outcome Following Pediatric TBI

Neuroimaging plays an important role in assessing the consequences of TBI across the postinjury period. While identifying alterations to the brain is important, associating those changes to functional, cognitive, and behavioral outcomes is an essential step to establishing the value of advanced neuroimaging for pediatric TBI. Here we highlight research that has revealed links between advanced neuroimaging and outcome after TBI and point to opportunities where neuroimaging could expand our ability to prognosticate and potentially uncover opportunities to intervene.
