I am not sure...

I think top teams do MRI scanning, there is also a test called DSST (Digital Symbol Substitution Test) that can be taken pre-season. I have no experience with it.

Diagnosing concussion using the questions on my concussion page is one thing, taking the player of the field is another thing. "No I'm fine" replies from concussed players might suggest there is no problem, but take the player of anyway!

Hi Martin, read your page on concussion, the questions to ask players suspect of concussion will come handy. Is there also a test for players before and after they are concussed. That is to make some sort of baseline?

Would make me more confortable.
