Abstract

Conclusions: The interpretation of TBI findings in late stage MRI yields significant variability between neuroradiologists. This may endanger diagnostics and lead to false treatment decisions and medico-legal problems. Standardized quantitative imaging analysis programs and advances in MRI technology should be utilized to improve radiological TBI diagnosis.
