"Over the first few days post-injury, the degree of surrounding oedema will typically increase, although by 3 months FLAIR changes will have largely resolved 7. In contrast, SWI changes usually take longer to resolve, with substantial resolution by 12 months post-injury 7. This makes sense, as oedema resolves faster than haemorrhage."

"Diffuse axonal injury and diffuse vascular injury (DVI) are related and often co-existent entities, possibly lying on a single spectrum of diffuse brain injury 10. Diffuse vascular injury is a term more commonly used in neuropathology rather than neuroradiology literature, and describes traumatic shearing of penetrating blood vessels, usually accompanying traumatic axonal shearing 10. Generally, in the neuroradiology literature, diffuse axonal injury encompasses features of diffuse vascular injury. Thus, this article covers features of both entities together."
"MR spectroscopy"
"MRS can be of benefit in identifying patients with grade I injury, which may be inapparent on other sequences. Features typically demonstrate elevation of the choline peak and reduction of NAA 3,11."

"The patients at risk of diffuse axonal injury are the same cohort who suffer traumatic brain injury; young men are over-represented."
