27. A computer-implemented method for evaluating an impact of injury to brain networks or regions, the method comprising:
receiving magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data of a brain of an individual, wherein the MRI data includes a first volumetric dataset recorded using first imaging parameters and a second volumetric dataset recorded using second imaging parameters;
combining, on a voxel-by-voxel basis, first MRI data based on the first volumetric dataset and second MRI data based on the second volumetric dataset to produce a volumetric injury map;
performing a structural-functional analysis of one or more brain networks or regions by refining the volumetric injury map using a volumetric eloquence map that specifies eloquent brain tissue within the one or more brain networks or regions to determine an impact of injury within the one or more brain networks or regions; and
displaying a visualization of the determined impact of injury within the one or more brain networks or regions.
