Excerpt

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains a leading cause of mortality and disability among young individuals, especially in high-income countries [1]. According to a meta-analysis, combining reports from 23 European countries between 1980 and 2003, the incidence rate is about 235 per 100,000 [2]. Increasingly, imaging techniques play a crucial role in the diagnosis and management of patients with craniocerebral trauma, and may influence life or death decisions. Additionally, the role of imaging in the prediction of prognosis is well established and of growing importance in the research arena.
