Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Magnetization transfer imaging (MTI) has been shown to be sensitive for the detection of white matter abnormalities in entities such as multiple sclerosis, progressive multifocal leukencephalopathy, and wallerian degeneration. Our hypothesis was that MTI would detect traumatic white matter abnormalities (TWMA) and provide information additional to that obtainable with routine spin- and gradient-echo imaging. We hypothesized that the presence of TWMA defined by MTI would correlate with outcome following TBI. Twenty-eight victims of head trauma and 15 normal controls underwent magnetic resonance imaging including MTI. Magnetization transfer ratios (MTR) were calculated for areas of shearing injury and for normal-appearing white matter (NAWM) in locations frequently subject to diffuse axonal injury. Abnormal MTRs were detected in NAWM in eight patients. All eight had persistent neurologic deficits, including cognitive deficits, aphasia, and extremity weakness. Seven of the 28 patients had no abnormal findings on neurologic exam at discharge, transfer, or follow-up. None of these patients had an abnormal MTR in NAWM. In the remaining 13 patients, who had persistent neurologic deficits, no regions of abnormal MTR were detected in NAWM. MTI is a sensitive method for the detection of TWMA. Detection of abnormal MTR in NAWM that is prone to axonal injury may predict a poor patient outcome. The presence of normal MTR in NAWM in these areas does not necessarily confer a good outcome, however.
