Dr. Huma Haider's protocol for DTI can objectively prove presence of both Mild & Severe Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs). What is it? DTI is a type of MRI sequencing which is based in part on fluid dynamics. Water will behave the same in an ocean, river, stream or in the brain as long as gravity is present. The body is about 60% water and the brain is about 80% water. With DTI, we pulse the brain from a variety of angles. (There is nothing invasive – no dyes, no injections necessary.) As we pulse the brain from each of 30 different angles, the magnetic pulse causes the fluid in the brain to move in the opposite direction. As it moves, it travels along the tiny, microscopic white matter tracts of the brain. These tracts are like tiny canals and tubes, which are actually the brain’s “wires.” Once we have captured this motion from our 30 different angles, we compile the data into a 3D model of the brain. Where there are no tracts, we can see the missing tracts in the brain. Thanks to the more than 20,000 Peer Reviewed Studies on DTI, we also have widely accepted and understood quantifiable methodologies. Please contact Katherine Dillard for more information.
