The SpinTech MRI TBI protocol is a specialized, FDA-cleared imaging examination designed specifically for the advanced assessment of traumatic brain injury (TBI). While conventional MRI scans can miss up to 50% of subtle cerebral microbleeds, our protocol uses high-sensitivity sequences to provide objective, measurable evidence of injury.
Key features of this protocol include:
- Advanced Sequences: We integrate quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM), susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI), and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to identify micro-hemorrhages and diffuse axonal injury often invisible on standard scans.
- Speed and Safety: The exam is up to 50% faster than standard brain MRIs, typically taking only 10–15 minutes. It is a non-invasive, non-contrast protocol, meaning no contrast agents are required.
- Clinical and Legal Utility: Our fellowship-trained, board-certified radiologists provide court-ready documentation and detailed reports within 24–48 hours. This makes it an essential tool for personal injury cases where objective evidence of trauma is required.
We offer this advanced technology at our centers across Arizona and Texas. Because your health and clarity are our priority, we also coordinate directly with legal teams regarding liens and letters of protection to ensure you have access to the care you need.
Results may vary based on individual patient conditions; please consult with a healthcare professional for diagnosis and treatment advice.
