Advanced Neurosurgical Innovation Center (SANIC)

The purpose of the SANIC Traumatic Brain Injury Research Study is to determine whether the brains of persons with and without traumatic brain injury differ in a meaningful way when images of the brain are taken using three newer technologies. The hope is that the results of the study will prove that certain tools can be used to diagnose and treat traumatic brain injuries (TBI), which will improve outcomes for TBIs.

The research is supported by a grant from the Department of Defense through the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs and is being conducted at Saint Louis University.
