Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a heterogeneous disease with a variety of symptoms associated with brain function alterations after the trauma. There is still limited understanding of the relationship between physiological and structural changes and recovery rate. In this work, we aim to identify structural brain changes in a mTBI population at 4 time points. The analysis is in two folds: 1) correlation analysis between brain volumes and clinical scores; and 2) longitudinal analysis across different encounters. The results revealed significant brain volume changes over time, and at 3 months post-injury, volumes demonstrated significant negative correlations with clinical scores.
