James Elliott: Quantifying Injury Following Motor Vehicle Collisions-Making the Invisible, Visible

Doctor James Elliott, Principal Investigator of the Neuromuscular Imaging Laboratory at the Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, will deliver the final biology colloquium of spring 2016 at 3:25 pm on Monday, April 25, in Life Sciences Room 111, following refreshments at 3:15. The title of his talk is Quantifying injury following motor vehicle collisions: making the invisible, visible.

Abstract

Integrated and global research efforts involving a diverse group of professionals have realized that predicting recovery following motor vehicle collisions involves a complex interplay between biological, psychological, and environmental processes. Jim and his lab are working on new imaging-based methods for making the mostly invisible experience of pain and disability more visible and meaningful at the clinician's level. In this session, Jim will speak about emerging advancements in the clinical assessment of patients with suspected head/neck trauma.
