Research Interests
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) sustained in modern military conflicts
TBI in the combat environment is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in recent armed conflicts. Dr. Stone’s laboratory currently explores questions related to improving the clinical diagnosis of this disease process. Ongoing work includes the design and application of novel molecular imaging probes for the detection of acute and chronic effects of TBI. He is also involved with exploring novel ultrasound based approaches for the detection of TBI in a far forward environment.
In addition to exploring novel diagnostic for TBI, Dr. Stone is also involved with ongoing work exploring the affect of repetitive low-level blast exposure as an occupational hazard for humans who routinely work in this type of environment. The goals of this work include determining whether military service members in this environment are at risk for development of mild TBI and helping to establish safe stand off limits for low-level blast exposure.
