Abstract

To improve diagnosis of brain injury (BI), it is critical to identify its symptoms early. We describe here a portable and cost effective device that may be able to detect BI in field. This report includes our recent publications devoted to devices based on near infra-red spectroscopy (NIRS) that can objectively detect, quantify, and record exposures that may cause BI as well capable of measuring changes in brain activity, physiology, or function that may be associated with BI. Another important task is to determine which devices are appropriate for use in the combat zone and civil environment, device size and ease of use. The results of the review revealed that empirical data characterizing BI in humans early after injury are lacking, making it difficult to critically evaluate and compare different devices and the measures they provide. Detailed consideration of many papers indicate that there is a critical need to determine the sensitivity and specificity of diagnostic devices in detecting BI, compare their ability to discriminate BI, and provide a better understanding of brain pathology and physiology immediately following injury.
