High school aged males visit the emergency department for concussions caused by football more often than any other cause. While proper identification, diagnosis, and management of concussions in the emergency department can help avoid fatality and acute problems, there is still concern regarding the long-term effects of concussions. Most research has focused on collegiate football players, but recent studies have shown that head impact distributions for high school players are similar to their collegiate counterparts. The effect of these concussive and sub-concussive impacts on the developing brain is still unknown. Neuroimaging analysis of these players, particularly during times of brain maturation and growth, is important to profile the potential dose-response of brain changes occurring in relation to head impact exposure. en Wake Forest University Diffusion Imaging Football Magnetoencephalography MRI neuroimaging subconcussive DTI and MEG Imaging of Subconcussive Impacts in High School Football Players Dissertation Maldjian, Joseph A Whitlow, Chistopher T Stitzel, Joel D Santago, Peter Moran, Rosalyn J Biomedical Engineering 2018-01-10 open.access
