| Abstract | The purpose of this study is to develop a reproducible method for quantifying brain lesions in traumatic brain injury (TBI). Quantifying the effects of neuropathology is an important goal in the study of brain injury and disease, yet examiners have encountered significant difficulty quantifying brain lesions in neurotrauma where there may exist multiple, overlapping forms of injury including large focal lesions and more subtle, diffuse hemorrhage and/or shear injury. In the current study, we used conventional MRI to quantify brain lesion volume at separate time points in individuals with severe TBI. We present an automated method (ISODATA) for quantifying brain lesions that is compared against a standard semi-automated volumetric approach. The ISODATA method makes no assumptions about the location or extent of brain lesions, instead identifying areas of neuropathology via voxelwise comparisons of MRI signal intensity. The data reveal that ISODATA overlaps significantly with a semi-automated approach, is reliable across multiple observations, and is sensitive to change in lesion size during recovery from TBI. This study validates a reproducible, automated lesion quantification method used here to determine the location and extent of brain pathology following TBI. This approach may be used in conjunction with advanced imaging techniques to characterize the relationship between brain lesions and neurometabolism and function. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
