Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant public health problem, on pace to become the
third leading cause of death worldwide by 2020. Moreover, emerging evidence linking …

During the conflicts of the Global War on Terror, which are Operation Enduring Freedom
(OEF) in Afghanistan and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF), there have been over a quarter of a …

Finite element head (FE) models are important numerical tools to study head injuries and
develop protection systems. The generation of anatomically accurate and subject-specific …

High-speed biplane x-ray and neutral density targets were used to examine brain
displacement and deformation during impact. Relative motion, maximum principal strain …

Deformation of the human brain was measured in tagged magnetic resonance images (MRI)
obtained dynamically during angular acceleration of the head. This study was undertaken to …

The rapid deformation of brain tissue in response to head impact can lead to traumatic brain
injury. In vivo measurements of brain deformation during non-injurious head impacts are …

This paper proposes the implementation of fractional anisotropy and axonal fiber orientation
from diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of 12 healthy patients into an existing human FE head …

Blast-induced traumatic brain injury (TBI) has become a signature wound of recent military
activities and is the leading cause of death and long-term disability among US soldiers. The …

This study describes the measurement of fields of relative displacement between the brain
and the skull in vivo by tagged magnetic resonance imaging and digital image analysis …

Successful validation of a head injury model is critical to ensure its biofidelity. However,
there is an ongoing debate on what experimental data are suitable for model validation …
