Multicenter Study
Assessment of white matter injury and outcome in severe brain trauma: a prospective multicenter cohort.
Existing methods to predict recovery after severe traumatic brain injury lack accuracy. The aim of this study is to determine the prognostic value of quantitative diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). ⋯ White matter assessment with quantitative DTI increases the accuracy of long-term outcome prediction compared with the available clinical/radiographic prognostic score.
