A range of symptoms can accompany this type of injury and negatively impact people's lives. As mTBI diagnosis and recovery largely rely on subjective reports, more objective injury markers are needed. The current study compared structural brain MRI\u2010T2 relaxometry between a group of 40 male athletes with mTBI within 14\u2009days of injury and 40 age\u2010matched male controls. Voxel\u2010averaged T2 relaxometry within the gray matter was increased for the mTBI group compared to controls (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001), with statistically significant increased T2 relaxometry particularly in superior cortical regions. Our findings indicate subtle brain abnormalities can be identified in acute mTBI using MRI\u2010T2 relaxometry. These brain abnormalities may reflect inflammation present in the brain and could constitute an objective injury marker to supplement current subjective methods that dominate clinical decisions regarding diagnosis and prognosis. Future research should validate this potential marker with other data types, such as blood biomarkers or histological samples.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/jnr.70034","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,4]],"date-time":"2025-04-04T22:04:54Z","timestamp":1743804294000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["<scp>MRI<\/scp>\n                    \u2010\n                    <scp>T2<\/scp>\n                    Relaxometry is Increased in Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: Indications of Acute Brain Abnormalities After Injury"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"103","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5895-4729","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mayan J.","family":"Bedggood","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Auckland University of Technology  Auckland New Zealand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christi A.","family":"Essex","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Auckland University of Technology  Auckland New Zealand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alice","family":"Theadom","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Auckland University of Technology  Auckland New Zealand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Helen","family":"Murray","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Auckland  Auckland New Zealand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1847-8128","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Patria","family":"Hume","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Auckland University of Technology  Auckland New Zealand"},{"name":"The University of Auckland  Auckland New Zealand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Samantha J.","family":"Holdsworth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Auckland  Auckland New Zealand"},{"name":"M\u0101tai Medical Research Institute  Gisborne New Zealand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Richard L.
