Figures
- Fig 1.
Representative of the ROIs drawn on 2 sample T2 images at the level of basal ganglia and centrum semiovale.
- Fig 2.
Representative MFC color maps and correspondent T2 images of 2 brain sections at the level of globus pallidus and thalamus in a 42-year-old male patient with mTBI. The patient complained of neck stiffness; his GCS score was 15, and the conventional MR imaging scan was normal. Note the clearly increased MFC in the deep gray matter and the correspondent normal T2 images. MFC values are reported in s−2.
- Fig 3.
Representative MFC color maps and correspondent T2 images of 2 brain sections at the level of globus pallidus and thalamus in a 25-year-old male patient with mTBI. The patient complained of headache, neck stiffness, photophobia, and nausea; his GCS score was 13, and the conventional MR imaging scan was normal. Note the clearly increased MFC in the deep gray matter and the correspondent normal T2 images. MFC values are reported in s−2.
- Fig 4.
Representative MFC color maps and correspondent T2 images of 2 brain sections at the level of globus pallidus and thalamus in a 32-year-old male healthy volunteer. MFC values are reported in s−2.
