Mild TBI Cerebrospinal Fluid Microdynamics from IVIM MRI Study

A research dataset from a prospective observational study comparing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) microdynamics between 14 patients with mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) and 14 healthy volunteers. The data was collected using intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) magnetic resonance imaging on a 3-Tesla scanner and includes f-value measurements across brain regions. The dataset was authored by Shinya Watanabe and last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Classifying mild TBI patients from healthy controls based on f-value differences in brain regions.
• Modeling longitudinal recovery trajectories of CSF microdynamics based on follow-up MRI data.
• Identifying region-specific biomarkers for TBI by analyzing f-value alterations in supratentorial and infratentorial areas.

Strengths

• Includes a controlled cohort of 14 patients and 14 healthy volunteers.
• Contains longitudinal follow-up data for three patients.
• Data is openly shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 58.5 KB, indicating limited scope.
