Figure 1 Group averaged differences between concussed and control athletes in terms of whole-brain fractional anisotropy (WBFA) and mean diffusivity (MD). Asterisks indicate significant differences.

Figure 2 Whole-brain diffusion tensor imaging tractography for one healthy adolescent (left) and one adolescent after concussion (right). Warmer colors indicate higher fractional anisotropy, whereas cooler colors indicate lower fractional anisotropy values. Diffuse increases in white matter tract fractional anisotropy are present after injury compared with an uninjured brain, likely reflecting subtle tissue damage associated with concussion.
