Mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBIs) present a problem for plaintiffs’ lawyers: jurors hear “mild” and think “minor.” However, with memory loss, debilitating headaches, and pronounced behavioral changes, mTBIs can be a major challenge in a person’s life.
Moreover, mTBIs can be difficult to identify. Patients suffering injuries from motor vehicle accidents, assaults, and falls can live with symptoms for years if not diagnosed correctly. Misdiagnosis can not only lead to ongoing issues, but also accusations of malingering at trial.
Join globally regarded behavioral neurologist and imaging neuroscientist Dr. Randall Benson of the Center for Neurologic Studies as he illustrates the work involved in diagnosing mTBI cases using advanced MRI. Using a sample case, this brain injury seminar will cover:
- Biomechanical components of an mTBI diagnosis
- mTBI symptoms in different populations
- Neurobehavioral findings on examinations
- Neuropsychological evaluations
- Advanced MRI techniques, and when to request them
- Neuro-optometric evaluations
- Endocrine evaluations
If you have clients with mild traumatic brain injuries, it is important to stay up to date on the latest methods utilized in diagnosis and treatment. Accurate diagnosis can not only improve the quality of life for your clients and their families, but dramatically improve their case outcomes.
