New Research Study Will Use functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging to Examine Soldiers' Brain Injuries

By Bruce Stern

ADVERTISEMENTS

Armed with Science, The Pentagon Channel's podcast program, presented an interview with Dr. Thomas Meitzler, a scientist at the U.S. Army Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC), and Dr. Joy Hirsch, professor at Columbia University and director of the Program for Imaging and Cognitive Sciences. In the podcast the doctors discussed a collaborative study to determine what areas of the brain are susceptible to damage for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) patients.

The interview noted that traumatic brain injuries, particularly for military personnel in Iraq and Afghanistan, is on the rise when soldiers come into contact with improvised explosive devices (IEDs). The doctors determined the science and technology of functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) used in the previous research could be used in TBI studies. You can read more on their study online here.
