Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), or concussion, is among the most common injuries affecting Veterans of recent combat deployments. Military mTBI differs from civilian mTBI in fundamental ways that make assessment and diagnosis difficult, including a reliance on retrospective self-report and the potential influence of comorbid psychopathology. These unique features and their implications for research and clinical practice are summarized, and neuroimaging studies are discussed in the context of these complicating factors.
轻度创伤性脑损伤（mTBI），即脑震荡，是影响近期参加过战斗部署的退伍军人的最常见损伤之一。军事性mTBI与 civilian mTBI 在一些基本方面存在差异，这些差异使得评估和诊断变得困难，包括对回顾性自我报告的依赖以及共病精神病理学的潜在影响。本文总结了这些独特特征及其对研究和临床实践的影响，并在这些复杂因素的背景下讨论了神经影像学研究。
