Abstract
There are two main approaches to imaging the traumatically injured brain: acute diagnostic imaging and determination of long-term structural sequelae (see Gean, 1994; Osborn, 1994; Prayer & Gean, 1994). The actual mechanisms of brain injury have been fully discussed elsewhere (Bigler, 1990; Christman, Grady, Walker, Holloway, & Povlishock, 1994; Newberg & Alavi, this volume; Povlishock, 1992). This chapter will deal exclusively with these two areas of neuroimaging in traumatic brain injury (TBI) and the relationship of acute and chronic findings to neuropsychological outcome.
