When the evidence points to brain injury, we can provide the proof.

A quantitative DTI Scan can detect brain damage not seen on MRI or CT. qDTI exams for TBI have helped attorneys establish courtroom credibility in cases where their clients have experienced brain trauma with a resulting post-concussion syndrome.

Quantitative DTI, or Diffusion Tensor Imaging, is an objective and particularly effective method for detecting nerve damage in the brain caused by concussions (mild Traumatic Brain Injury or mTBI).

How does quantitative DTI Work?

Quantitative DTI measures water molecules as they move along the brain’s nerve pathways. In the brain, nerve cells are called “axons” and water moves in a specific direction along these pathways. Diffusion Tensor Imaging is a method in which we can measure how water moves along the nerves or what is called FA or fractional anisotropy. If a disruption in the water pathway is detected, we know that there is an injury or damage in that specific area of the brain.

The best way that quantitative DTI testing can be performed is to have a powerful MRI system with specific advanced neurological software and data processing capabilities. With the necessary software and professional expertise, radiologists segment brain DTI scans into 48 distinct regions to examine the white matter of the brain looking for nerve damage.

Testimonials

qDTI exams for TBI

“Quantitative Diffusion Tensor Imaging has been a tremendous tool in establishing an objective finding of TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury). When clinically correlated with neuropsychological testing, it really helps to show the relationship between the objective findings and resulting cognitive deficits.”

– Elwood Stevens of Domengeaux, Wright, Roy & Edwards

On litigation consulting

“Thank you…. We could not have successfully advocated for our client without your knowledge, skill, and experience.”

– Jack M. Bailey, Jr., Attorney Shreveport, Louisiana

On DTI services

“The staff was able to schedule my client right away for DTI testing. On several occasions, Dr. Soll took the time to educate me. Thanks for all your help.”

– Chip Cossé, Attorney New Orleans

On our expert witness

“Dr. Soll was invaluable in working with us to establish TBI for my client, which resulted in a sizeable recovery for his family.”

– John Massicot, Attorney New Orleans

On our medical director

“Dr. Soll voluntarily gave me his cell phone number and answered my many questions. My clients and I really appreciated his generosity.”

– Scotty Chabert, Partner at Saunders & Chabert

Literature

Edward L. Soll, M.D.

After his retirement from general radiology, Dr. Soll has served as a technical and business advisor for his family’s imaging business. His current practice is limited to the evaluation of patients that have had brain injury with post-concussion difficulties. He works closely with the Psychology Departments at the University of New Mexico, the University of New Orleans and the Mind Research Network in Albuquerque and continues to perform Independent Medical Evaluations (IME) of spine abnormalities and often testifies as an expert in State and Federal courts.
