Abstract

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the brain injury caused by trauma to the head. There are three types of traumatic brain injury mild, moderate and severe traumatic brain injury based on the range of Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and the level of consciousness. By using automated detection approaches like computed tomography (CT) technique and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique one private can adept to detect moderate and severe traumatic brain injury lesions. But mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) lesions are cannot be able to detect because from the results of CT and MRI images these injury lesions are appeared as a very low contrast nature.
