Image supplied. Diffusion tensor imaging shows corpus callosum fibre tracts in two adolescents: One with traumatic brain injury (TBI; G and H) and one with an orthopaedic injury (E and F). At 3 months post-injury (E, G), early degeneration and loss of fibre tracts are visible, especially in the TBI case. At 18 months (F, H), some recovery or reorganisation occurs, but persistent loss and thinning of tracts remain, particularly in the frontal regions, indicating lasting white matter damage after TBI.
