Interesting article. Too bad it is mostly the same old bologna. The only forward looking information is the paragraph; "Dr. Lipton and others have identified a biomarker in the brain with a special MRI technique that may predict long-term prognosis after a concussion, which he says could help identify "who needs to be watched more carefully." More details on the technique are due to be released at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America next week. "
Even "Susanna Gadsby, the nurse-coordinator who oversees Dartmouth-Hitchcock's sports concussion program and its workshops" notes how she depends on the ImPACT system for return to play. The high school hockey player has returned to playing hockey even though she is still struggling; "but still finds herself occasionally struggling to express her thoughts." It will be very interesting to know more about this new MRI technique.
