DTI EVIDENCE
DATE: – 2010 – Written Testimony of Dr. Randall Benson before the House Judiciary Committee
EXCERPT: – 1. “I would like share with you some observations from eight years of evaluating traumatic brain injury cases, the vast majority of which I obtain neuropsychological testing and advanced MR imaging: 1) people with TBI are frequently misdiagnosed, often by multiple physicians; 2) the most frequent diagnostic category given is psychiatric—anxiety, depression, conversion disorder; 3) two neuropsychologists studying the same patient may differ considerably regarding existence of TBI; 4) TBI symptoms overlap considerably with those of “primary” psychiatric disorders; 5) without the ability to “see” the brain injury with imaging, there is no completely objective way to determine what is TBI and what is something else, e.g., posttraumatic stress, conversion, malingering; 6) people with brain injury seem to vary considerably in severity of symptoms and recovery in the face of similar falls, crashes, etc.” 2. “In summary, DTI is able to “visualize” diffuse axonal injury from TBI. In some cases location of lesions appears to correlate with specific symptoms but generally the severity of DAI as indicated by DTI is strongly predictive of general neurocognitive disability.

DATE: – 2008 – Diffusion Tensor Imaging of the Brain
EXCERPT: – “…the applications of DTI are rapidly increasing because the technique is highly sensitive to changes at the cellular and microstructural level.”

DATE: – 2016 – Federal Court in Louisiana Admits DTI into Evidence; Andrew v Patterson Motor Freight, Inc.
EXCERPT: – 1. “Plaintiff retained Dr. Eduardo Gonzalez-Toledo who administered Diffusion Tensor Imaging, which according to Dr. Gonzalez-Toledo demonstrated evidence of traumatic brain injury pathology” 2. “…the Court finds plaintiff has submitted sufficient evidence to show the reliability of DTI. In sum, the evidence submitted shows DTI has been tested and has a low error rate; DTI has been subject to peer review and publication; and DTI is a generally accepted method for detecting TBI. Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 509 U.S. 579, 593-94. The Court additionally notes DTI testimony has been admitted by several courts. See e.g. Ruppel v. Kucanin, 2011 WL 2470621 (N.D.Ind.); Hammar v. Sentinel Ins. Co., Ltd., No. 08-019984 (Fla.Cir.Ct.2010);Booth v. Kit, 2009 WL 4544743 (D.N.M.). Accordingly, the Court denies defendants’ motion to the extent it seeks to exclude evidence and testimony regarding DTI”
