title: Neuroimaging of Concussion.
abstract: In this review, we discuss the literature regarding both concussion and mild traumatic brain injury. We focus on the role for neuroimaging in the concussed patient and describe the recommended practices related to imaging in concussion. This discussion first focuses on the exclusion of severe injuries and is followed by a discussion of the potential utility of various advanced imaging techniques in research and clinical practice.
