Frequently Asked Questions

CT scans and MRIs show structural damage like bleeding or skull fractures, but mild traumatic brain injuries often involve functional changes in brain activity without visible structural damage. EEG-based diagnostics measure electrical brain function and can detect neurological abnormalities that imaging misses in the early stages after trauma.

Yes, traumatic brain injuries can occur even in collisions at 10-15 mph. The brain moves inside the skull during impact regardless of speed, and rotational forces during sudden deceleration can cause injury even when external damage appears minimal. Symptoms may not appear immediately after lower-speed crashes.

EEG-based neurological evaluation can be performed within days of a collision or traumatic event. Earlier testing establishes baseline brain activity data and documents functional changes before symptoms fully develop, which supports both treatment planning and medical timeline documentation for ongoing care needs.

EEG technology measures electrical brain activity and identifies functional abnormalities in how neurons communicate. While CT and MRI show structural problems, EEG reveals disruptions in brain wave patterns that indicate cognitive processing issues, attention deficits, or neurological dysfunction that structural imaging cannot detect.

Brain injury severity directly affects long-term medical care needs, case valuation, and settlement outcomes. Early neurological testing creates medical records showing when symptoms began and how brain function changed after the accident, which strengthens causation documentation and supports claims for ongoing treatment and damages.

Qualified healthcare providers experienced in traumatic brain injury assessment interpret EEG diagnostic results. The technology supports medical evaluation but requires clinical expertise to correlate brain activity patterns with symptoms, injury mechanisms, and appropriate treatment protocols. Interpretation quality depends on the provider's neurological training and experience.

Mild traumatic brain injuries and concussions often lack visible structural damage on imaging, making them difficult to diagnose using traditional methods alone. Patients may not experience obvious symptoms for hours or days, and subtle cognitive or neurological changes require functional testing to detect early.

Delayed symptom onset is common with traumatic brain injuries. Inflammation, cellular damage progression, and compensatory brain function changes develop over time, causing symptoms like headaches, memory problems, concentration issues, or mood changes to emerge gradually rather than appearing immediately at the accident scene.

Structural testing like CT and MRI shows physical damage such as bleeding, swelling, or fractures. Functional testing like EEG measures how the brain operates electrically and identifies disruptions in neural activity. Many brain injuries involve functional impairment without structural changes visible on imaging.

Physicians, neurologists, chiropractors, diagnostic imaging facilities, and clinics evaluating patients after motor vehicle accidents, concussions, or suspected traumatic brain injuries use the technology. The units are distributed to medical professionals and diagnostic providers who integrate neurological testing into their evaluation workflows.
