The CBI-M traumatic brain injury framework is a multidimensional model that replaces traditional, single-metric assessments with a comprehensive four-pillar approach. We utilize these pillars to provide a more precise diagnostic picture, especially in cases where conventional scans might miss subtle injuries.
The four pillars of the CBI-M framework include:
- Clinical History: This involves a detailed look at the accident history, any prior concussions, and relevant comorbidities to add context beyond simple acute variables.
- Symptom Burden: We assess the type, severity, and persistence of symptoms using validated checklists to reflect your actual daily experience.
- Functional Assessment: This pillar focuses on cognitive, balance, and oculomotor testing to detect subtle functional deficits that standard scales often overlook.
- Imaging & Biomarkers: As the objective anchor of the model, we use advanced neuroimaging—such as our specialized SpinTech MRI TBI protocol—to identify microstructural white-matter damage and microhemorrhages through quantitative DTI and SWI.
By integrating these four areas, we provide a clearer recovery trajectory and robust, court-ready documentation. Please note that results may vary based on individual patient conditions; always consult with a healthcare professional for specific diagnosis and treatment advice.
