A concussion can be called an mTBI but mTBI is usually used to describe something worse than a concussion. Brain injury can be viewed along a continuum that incorporates concussion, mild traumatic brain injury, moderate traumatic brain injury and severe traumatic brain injury. There is an overlap between each term.
An mTBI is usually not an injury that the victim can get up and walk away from. There will be immediate symptoms that interrupt normal self-directed function.

mTBI and concussion are used interchangeably where I live.
p.s. the whole naming thing is very confusing when I think about it. The hand outs that are given to patients in the emergency room setting say "head injury" or "mild head injury". That seems to be over simplistic really and can be even more confusing. |

It seems they overlap quite a bit from the results of this search-
