The shaded rows indicate traumatic axonal injury lesions in which axons recovered, as defined by a longitudinal increase in fractional anisotropy (FA) that exceeded the coefficient of variation for FA within the corpus callosum in healthy controls. Abbreviations: “+” indicates that a lesion was visible; “−“ indicates that a lesion was not visible; AD = axial diffusivity; ADC = apparent diffusion coefficient; DRS = Disability Rating Scale score; DWI = diffusion-weighted imaging; FLAIR = T2-weighed fluid-attenuated inversion recovery sequence; GCS = admission Glasgow Coma Scale score; GRE = T2*-weighted gradient-recalled echo sequence; MVA = motor vehicle accident; Pt = patient; RD = radial diffusivity; RH = rehabilitation hospital.
