DTI (Diffusion Tensor Imaging)

LifeSciences Imaging Partners is the gold standard in diagnosing Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).

Proving the details of a TBI has been a nearly impossible task in the past. Most evidence of Traumatic Brain Injuries is invisible in a routine MRI, that is because routine MRI cannot detect white matter injury that causes water to leak from neural tracts. However, state-of-the-art Advanced Brain MRI known as DTI (Diffusion Tensor Imaging) can accurately detect and document all the subtle injuries that interfere with the normal functioning of the operating circuits of the brain. DTI can detect this (leaking water), making it the best marker for brain injury.

At LifeSciences Imaging Partners, we use DTI data and FDA approved software to provide 3D color tractogram that show exactly where a brain has suffered a critical traumatic injury.

DTI is an FDA-cleared Protocol.The extensive detailed, published research with more than 20,000 peer-reviewed publications, courts throughout the United States are admitting DTI into evidence and allowing expert testimony based on it.

DTI is admissible for head injury from motor vehicle accidents, explosions, fights, anoxic injury (low oxygen) events, falls, and a wide variety of other types of events that can cause impairment of brain function.

If the injury is not detectable by DTI, it effectively does not exist. If it is shown clearly on DTI, it can stand as a proven fact. DTI has been ruled admissible under Daubert and similar standards in numerous State and Federal Courts. The validity of the injury is definitively resolved by DTI.

The legal value of a DTI scan report is highly dependent on the expert who makes the report. A serious problem with DTI has been severely misinterpreted and misdiagnosed by a neuroradiologist. Many neuroradiologists can only comment on anatomic findings. They do not see patients and can only warrant a clinical correlation. A neurosurgeon practices clinically and trained in understanding the analysis of a DTI. A Neurosurgeon can comment on clinical correlation between the patient’ symptoms and the findings on a DTI scan.

In addition, LifeSciences Imaging Partners is the unlimited expert in the field of DTI imaging illuminating spinal cord, sciatic nerve and cranial nerve injury for complete diagnosis.
