Abstract

Concussion is one of the most prevalent neurological conditions worldwide, and a major health concern, in terms of both the initial effects of injury and potential long-term health consequences. Until relatively recently, our understanding of concussion pathophysiology has been limited and mainly derived from animal models. In recent years, though, with the increasing availability of advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques, there has been a growing body of literature addressing this issue, providing unprecedented insights into the complex physiological changes that are associated with concussion and subsequent recovery. In this chapter, we will survey the current state of knowledge in this rapidly evolving field, including a review of key MRI sequences and how the findings relate to our understanding of concussive injury, recovery, and clinical presentation.
