Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess damage at the injury site

Caption

A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the brains of two mice after a controlled impact to create a traumatic brain injury. The arrow shows there the impact was made, the grey area below the arrow shows the size of the lesion. The amount of brain swelling is visibly reduced in the brain of the treated mouse (bottom).
