Common neuroimaging findings in mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), including sport-related concussion (SRC), are reviewed based on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Common abnormalities radiologically identified on the day-of-injury, typically a CT scan, are in the form of contusions, small subarachnoid or intraparenchymal hemorrhages as well as subdural and epidural collections, edema and skull fractures. Common follow-up neuroimaging findings with MRI include white matter hyperintensities (WMHs), hypointense signal abnormalities that reflect prior hemorrhage, focal encephalomalacia, presence of atrophy and/or dilated Virchow-Robins peri-vascular space. The MRI findings from a large pediatric mTBI study show low frequency of positive MRI findings at 6 months post-injury. The review concludes with an examination of some of the advanced MRI-based image analysis methods that can be performed in the patient who has sustained an mTBI.
