    Summary

    Preventing sports-related head injuries is vital. Determining safe return-to-play after a concussion is crucial for athletes, with neuroimaging research exploring future evaluation roles.

    Area of Science:

    • Sports Medicine
    • Neurology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Sports concussions are a growing concern, highlighting the need for effective injury prevention and management strategies.
    • The critical decision of when an athlete can safely return to play after a concussion is under scrutiny to prevent long-term neurological deficits.
    • Current concussion evaluation methods have limitations, prompting research into advanced diagnostic tools.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the current role and future potential of neuroimaging in the evaluation of sports-related concussions.
    • To emphasize the importance of determining safe return-to-play criteria for athletes post-concussion.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of conventional and advanced neuroimaging techniques.
    • Analysis of research on concussion incidence and prevention in sports.
