Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) images of three patients with mild traumatic brain injury and three normal controls. (A) No abnormality was detected on brain MRI. (B) On DTT images of the cingulum, bilateral discontinuations between the anterior cingulum and the basal forebrain were observed in all three patients (blue arrows) and narrowing was also observed in three cingulums (green arrows). (C) DTT images of the cingulum in three normal subjects.
