BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Professional boxing may result in brain injury. We
hypothesize that quantitative MR diffusion imaging may be useful in determining early white …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Professional boxing is associated with chronic, repetitive
head blows that may cause brain injuries. Diffusion-weighted imaging is sensitive to …

Purpose To investigate and localize cerebral abnormalities in professional boxers with no
history of moderate or severe head trauma. Materials and Methods Diffusion tensor imaging …

We used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to evaluate
the effects of boxing on brain structure and cognition in 10 boxers (8 retired, 2 active; mean …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Traumatic brain injury is common in fighting athletes such
as boxers, given the frequency of blows to the head. Because DTI is sensitive to …

The aim of this study was to evaluate longitudinal changes in the diffusion characteristics of
brain white matter (WM) in collegiate athletes at three time points: prior to the start of the …

Introduction Professional boxing can lead to chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a variant of
traumatic brain injury (TBI). Its occurrence in amateur boxers is a matter of debate since …

Sport concussion is associated with disturbances in brain function in the absence of gross
anatomical lesions, and may have long‐term health consequences. Diffusion‐weighted …

Object The aim of this study was to examine the brain's white matter microstructure by using
MR diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in ice hockey players with a history of clinically …

Concussion is among the least understood neurologic injuries. The impact of concussion on
the adolescent brain remains largely unknown. This study sought to establish short-term …
