Additionally, a number of advanced applications of MRI have been employed in TBI-related clinical research with great promise, and researchers have used these techniques to better understand the underlying mechanisms, progression of secondary injury and tissue perturbation over time, and relation of focal and diffuse injury to outcome. However, the acquisition and analysis time, the cost of these and other imaging modalities, and the need for specialized expertise have represented historical barriers in extending these tools in clinical practice. While group studies are important in detecting patterns, heterogeneity among patient presentation and limited sample sizes from which to compare individual-level data to well-developed normative data have also played a role in the limited translatability of imaging to wider clinical application. Fortunately, the field of TBI has benefited from increased public and scientific awareness of the prevalence and impact of TBI, particularly related to recent military conflicts and sport-related concussion. This awareness parallels an increase in federal funding in the United States and other countries allocated to investigation in these areas. In 2025, funding for TBI research in the United States is less certain due to the changing administrative priorities, so we hope this article can highlight the incredible productivity of the TBI neuroimaging research community. In this article, we summarize funding and publication trends since the mainstream adoption of imaging in TBI to elucidate evolving trends and priorities in the application of different techniques and patient populations. A total of 4872 articles over 82 years are categorized. We also review recent and ongoing efforts to advance the field through promoting reproducibility, data sharing, big data analytic methods, and team science. Finally, we discuss international collaborative efforts to combine and harmonize neuroimaging, cognitive, and clinical data, both prospectively and retrospectively. Each of these represents unique, but related, efforts that facilitate closing gaps between the use of advanced imaging solely as a research tool and the use of it in clinical diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment planning and monitoring.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/08977151251406614","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,26]],"date-time":"2025-12-26T06:11:37Z","timestamp":1766729497000},"page":"351-362","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["The Evolving Role of Neuroimaging in Traumatic Brain Injury Research"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"43","author":[{"given":"Emily L.","family":"Dennis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Traumatic Brain Injury and Concussion Center, Department of Neurology, University of Utah School of Medicine, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA."},{"name":"George E.
