You are really getting an MRI with DTI (diffusion tensor imaging done) done?
I didn't know those are available apart from research yet. They can show structural changes in the integrity of white matter happening after concussion (which is not possible to be recognized with standard MRI).
There are studies that could show structural changes in the white matter 1 year after the concussions happened.
I don't know what the "something else" you mentioned could be. As far as I know DTI is already the cutting edge technology in current magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology regarding brain injuries available.
Please keep the board updated when you have had the imaging and know more.
Best wishes to you and the thread starter!
