I'm confused. Your quote of my post does not match the question you ask. I'll try to respond.

DTI does not identify specific injury. It just identifies the fluid flow due to that injury or dysfunctional area in the brain. Focal vs diffuse does not make a difference from what I understand.

What income losses are ongoing ?

In the US, it is hard to claim changes that do not result in a loss in income. There can sometimes be a claim for loss of relationship issues, etc. but those are hard to prove and claim. Claiming financial amounts for a change in personality would be difficult too.

If you are denied a hospital job due to your injury, the wage differential may be claimable. I don't know German or EU policies.

Europe uses the term surgery different than the US. Here, surgery is always cutting into the body. From what I gather, surgery in the EU can also mean a medical exam, consult or treatment. Are you a "cut into the body" surgeon ?
