Researchers Say New Scanning Method Produces Visual Images of Whiplash Injuries
Researchers say they have found a way to capture images of injuries from whiplash, a condition often associated with motor-vehicle accidents that is difficult to diagnose and treat.
An international team led by Harvard Medical School’s Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Boston said the new approach to scanning allows clinicians to better target medical treatments.
“An objective visualization and quantification of the injury and possible inflammation in whiplash-associated disorders would support a better diagnosis, strengthen patients’ subjective report of pain, and assist clinical decisions,” said the lead author, Clas Linnman, an assistant professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation at the Spaulding Neuroimaging Lab, according to an article posted online by Harvard Medical School.
