Summary

Today we talk to Elsa Beltran, one of our fabulous senior lecturers in neurology and neurosurgery here at the RVC about traumatic brain injury.  Initial assessment, tools that we can use to grade injury and see if there is an improvement or not, when to think about diagnostic imaging, and more. We’d loved talking to her and am sure you will get a lot out of it.

Some papers of interest including Elsa’s paper on the use of MRI in Traumatic brain injury;
