Doctors are currently working on an experimental MRI based test at the University of Pittsburg Medical Center. High Definition Fiber Tracking allows doctors to actually see a representation of the brain fibers responsible for different parts of the body, which helps doctors understand what happened to the brain’s white matter (the connective parts) in a traumatic brain injury (a concussion). This type of image shows where and how many of those connections are disrupted, something the doctors could not see before.
