Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) can alter the brain’s chemistry and damage the brain itself. They do require immediate hospitalization for the best chance of the least injury, and one procedure that may occur is a diagnostic tool called magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). If you or a loved one has sustained a TBI from an accident, contact Mike Agruss Law for a free consultation so we can help you recover from this experience and get fairly compensated.

After any TBI you should be seeking immediate medical attention. Medical professionals will assess and diagnose the injury, which may include a CT scan or an MRI. An MRI will be able to detect signs of injury such as minute bleeding, small bruised areas, or scarring. However, this is the limit of an MRI’s assistance with diagnosing and detecting a TBI. It will not be able to pick up microscopic injury or how brain injury may affect one’s emotions or personality. So, MRIs can be helpful for certain parts of identifying a TBI, but it does not provide a totally comprehensive report.The total recovery and treatment of a TBI will require extensive hospitalization, consultations, and/or rehabilitation.
