Abstract

Neuroimaging is being increasingly applied to the study of paediatric mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) to uncover the neurobiological correlates of delayed recovery post-injury. The aims of this systematic review were to: (i) evaluate the neuroimaging research investigating neuropathology post-mTBI in children and adolescents from 0-18 years, (ii) assess the relationship between advanced neuroimaging abnormalities and PCS in children, (iii) assess the quality of the evidence by evaluating study methodology and reporting against best practice guidelines, and (iv) provide directions for future research. A literature search of MEDLINE, PsycINFO, EMBASE, and PubMed was conducted. Abstracts and..
