The Surprising Role of Neuroimaging Tech in Proving Brain Injury Claims
The brain is by far the most complex organ in the human body, and it is responsible for hundreds of processes which ensure that we stay alive. As a result, any form of physical assault or infection towards it can have the potential to throw human body out of whack and even lead to death. A traumatic brain injury is often seen in catastrophic accidents such as trailer accidents, construction site falls and motorcycle accidents, and the victim is often incapacitated for a considerable amount of time. Recovering from traumatic brain injury will take the concerted effort of a multitude of experts gently guiding the victim on treatment as well as physical therapy modalities in order to get them back to how they were pre-accident. It is important to note that the brain is neuroplastic, which means that it can rewire and heal itself given enough time.
That said, liability for brain injuries is something that is complex but necessary when it comes to examining who is potentially at fault for one’s injuries, as the fallout of this kind of injury is very expensive to treat and rehabilitate, and some victims may never be able to regain a sense of independence and wellness again, meaning they will require sufficient compensation by way of damages to put their lives back together. Because of the complexities of brain injury claims, it is vital that you work with an experienced brain injury law firm to secure your justice and compensation, and we’re here to help with that and so much more.

How Neuroimaging Technology Can Help Prove Brain Injury
Being able to visualize brain activity is an important part of determining brain health. To this end, neuroscientific discoveries such as functional MRI and diffusion tensor imaging are two forms of emerging technology which have helped us have a clearer picture or brain connectivity and activity. Brain cognitive function is a form of brain activity which facilitates our ability to understand and manipulate our world. Therefore, impaired cognition as shown by fMRI can help prove brain injury occurred as a result of someone else’s negligence.
Diffusion Tensor Imaging or DTI is a form of MRI which visualizes white matter tracts in the brain, helping shed light into neural connectivity. This test is essential in showing the integrity or lack thereof of white matter after a traumatic injury, as well as proving that structural impairments are a direct result of these structural changes which were effected by the brain injury.
Electroencephalography or EEG is a device which is used to measure brain electrical activity which helps show which areas of the brain are functioning normally and those that aren’t. in particular, an EEG measures brain wave patterns which are a good determinant of any cognitive defects.
Why Neuroimaging Tech is Vital in Brain Injury Lawsuits
These technologies are vital in brain injury litigation for a number of reasons:
Proving Causation
Brain injury litigation requires that the plaintiff demonstrate a direct causal link between the actions of the defendant and their own injury. technology such as neuroimaging will provide proof that brain damage did indeed occur and that cognitive defects they display have been historically linked to the destruction of specific brain regions
Clarifying Negligence
It is important to note that science is dynamic, and new advancements are announced almost every day. To this end, advancements in neuroscience can help enhance evidence quality, helping remove any factual doubts regarding who was at fault and to what degree when it comes to brain injury claims.
Expert Testimony
Neuroscientific evidence is vital when it comes to bolstering the credibility of expert testimony during litigation, as this evidence will shed light on how certain injuries have an impact on cognitive function. These experts, by way of imaging evidence, are able to brain down complex medical concepts for all court attendants in order for the average layman to have an appreciation of the impact of brain injuries.
