Sports Concussion Scans

Baseline, Acute Injury, and Long-Term Impact Evaluation

Objective concussion data that helps athletes return safely—and confidently.

Sports-related concussions can be subtle, repetitive, or cumulative. Standard MRI or CT often appears “normal,”leaving athletes, families, and providers unsure about recovery timelines or long-term risks. Smart Scan’s SportsConcussionScans provide objective baseline data and post-injury imaging that reveal subtle brain changesconventional scans may miss.Benefits for Athletes & Families•Early Answers–Detect subtle or cumulative concussion effects that impact performance and recovery.•Peace of Mind–Clear imaging results help athletes and parents understand the severity and trajectory of injury.•Long-Term Protection–Identify patterns that mayindicate ongoing neuro impact in high-impact sports.Benefits for Providers & Athletic Programs•Objective Evidence–Reliable baselines and post-injury comparisons to support safe return-to-play decisions.•Informed Treatment–Imaging helps guide rehab, rest, and long-term management strategies.•Performance Insight–Detect neuro changes that influence decision-making, focus, and coordination.When athletes need clarity—whether before the season, immediately after an impact, or long after symptoms linger—Sports Concussion Scans provide actionable insights that support safety and long-term performance.SportConcussion scans are valuable for:• Pre-season baseline testing• Acute concussion evaluation (within days or weeks)• Persistentsymptoms after injury• Repeated head impacts or suspected cumulative trauma• Long-term neurological monitoring for high-impact athletes
