Shear and Traumatic Axonal Injury Resulting in Traumatic Brain Injury
In correlation with some of the nation's leading medical experts and trial attorneys who specialize in "mild traumatic brain injury (mild TBI)", MediVisuals has developed an interactive animated software that demonstrates how traumatic brain injuries can occur without a significant blow to the head and without being evidenced on imaging studies.
Animated sequences based upon crash tests demonstrate the movements associated with a "typical" sudden deceleration incident. Multiple other animation sequences explain the involved anatomy and show the soft, fragile brain impacting on the hard and uneven inner surface of the skull. The sequences demonstrate how multiple axonal injuries can occur from the shearing forces (both with and without hemorrhage and both with and without positive findings on imaging studies). An additional animation sequence demonstrates how the combined deceleration and rotational forces result in axonal injury in the corpus callosum.
Samples of the animation sequences contained on this webpage are for review only. They are
not authorized for use in settlement, deposition, mediation, trial nor any other litigation or non-litigation use. Consistent with copyright laws, unauthorized use or reproduction of the animation sequences (or parts thereof) is subject to a maximum $150,000 fine.
You will need the
Quicktime Movie Player installed in order to view the sequences.

New Innovations from MediVisuals:
Life-size Soft Brain Model
MediVisuals' soft brain model is perfect for demonstrating the weight, flexibility, and vulnerability of the human brain. Life-size and made of silicon, the brain is soft to the touch and fits inside a standard skull. (Clear plastic skull is included with purchase).
