Diffusion Tensor Imaging is a new technology that helps doctors to determine if their patient has suffered a concussion. With this information doctors can determine the proper treatment for their patients and avoid any possible long-term effects. Concussions are a global issue in our world today, with the increase in physical activities, especially among youth. Concussions have been linked to Alzheimer’s and dementia, both which are serious brain diseases in the elderly. Therefore, early detection using this technology will help doctors to diagnose and treat concussions sooner, minimizing further damage to the brain which will ensure a full recovery to patients.
