Background The number and magnitude of head impacts have been assessed in-vivo using
inertial sensors to characterise the exposure in various sports and to help understand their …

Diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) is an extension of the popular diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)
technique. DKI takes into account leading deviations from Gaussian diffusion stemming from …

Repeated head impact exposure and concussions are common in American football.
Identifying the factors associated with high magnitude impacts aids in informing sport policy …

The midbrain is biomechanically susceptible to force loading from repetitive subconcussive
head impacts (RSHI), is a site of tauopathy in chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), and …

Noninvasive detection of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is important for evaluating acute
through chronic effects of head injuries, particularly after repetitive impacts. To better detect …

Objective: Youth athletes are believed to be more susceptible to white matter (WM)
degradation resulting from head impact exposure relative to high school (HS) athletes; this …

Background: Although some studies have observed a relationship between age of first
exposure (AFE) to American football and long-term outcomes, recent findings in collegiate …

Introduction: Concern has grown over the potential long-term effects of repeated head
impacts and concussions in American football. Recent advances in impact engineering have …

OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the frequency, magnitude, and location of head impacts in
practice drills within a youth football team to determine how head impact exposure varies …

Mitigating the effects of repetitive exposure to head trauma has become a major concern for
the general population, given the growing body of evidence that even asymptomatic …
