Tua Tagovailoa concussion discussion (update: Tua to IR 9/17/2024)(Merged)

Can you see a concussion? Can take a brain scan or something?
Unfortunately our technology isn’t there. You don’t see anything on CT, unless there is a skull fracture/bleed (as broccoli actually noted above). At times we can see a finding called diffuse axonal injury on MRI…but it’s uncommon and we really typically only see it with severe TBI. And MRI is not typically done in the acute setting. For that reason it’s not used as a diagnostic tool
