About this listen
In this episode, we explore one of the most cutting-edge tools in brain imaging: Magnetoencephalography (MEG) — and its transformative role in the diagnosis and understanding of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and post-concussion syndrome (PCS).
While conventional imaging like CT and MRI often fall short in detecting subtle disruptions after a concussion, MEG offers a real-time window into the brain's electrical activity — capturing dysfunctions in connectivity, oscillatory rhythms, and network integrity that are invisible to standard scans.
Join Dr. [Your Name], consultant neurologist and brain injury specialist, as we discuss:
What MEG measures and how it works
Why MEG is particularly suited for detecting abnormalities in mTBI
Recent research and clinical cases demonstrating MEG’s diagnostic potential
Challenges in accessibility, interpretation, and standardization
The future of MEG in concussion protocols and legal/medicolegal settings
Whether you’re a clinician, researcher, athlete, or advocate for brain injury awareness, this episode sheds light on how neurotechnology is helping us validate what patients have known all along — that even “mild” brain injuries can have profound and persistent effects.
