Correlations between diffusion tensor imaging and levels of consciousness in patients with traumatic brain injury: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract Traumatic brain injury (TBI) often leads to impaired consciousness. Recent diffusion tensor imaging studies associated consciousness with imaging metrics including fractional anisotropy (FA) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC). We evaluated their correlations and determined the best in...
