Patients with Traumatic Axonal Injury Lesions Stratified into Location and Magnetic Resonance Injury Sequence
| Any MRI sequence (n = 158) | T2*GRE MRI (n = 151) | FLAIR MRI (n = 158) | DWI MRI (n = 154) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Location of TAI lesions | n (%) | n (%) | n (%) | n (%) |
| Hemispheric white matter | 125 (79) | 115 (76) | 92 (58) | 33 (21) |
| Corpus callosum | 84 (53) | 64 (42) | 71 (45) | 46 (30) |
| Thalamus | 31 (20) | 23 (15) | 18 (13) | 10 (6) |
| Basal ganglia | 28 (18) | 25 (17) | 10 (6) | 4 (3) |
| Brain stem | 46 (29) | 31 (21) | 30 (19) | 17 (11) |
TAI, traumatic axonal injury; MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; T2*GRE, T2 weighted gradient echo imaging; FLAIR, fluid attenuated inversion recovery imaging; DWI, diffusion weighted imaging. Seven and four patients lacked the T2*GRE and DWI sequences, respectively.
