Summary
This study plans to evaluate the time course of inflammation in the brain after a moderate to
severe traumatic brain injury using positron emission tomography (PET) brain imaging.
Patients will undergo PET scans of the brain at two weeks and two months after injury to
measure neuro-inflammation. The results of the PET scans will be analyzed and correlated with
the risk of post-traumatic epilepsy.
