Pro Football Team Experiments with Cone Beam CT Imaging

This article strikes me as rather schizophrenic. Although the lead sentence refers to the early detection of brain injury, the subsequent emphasis was on cone beam CT scanning and referred to this particular type of imaging as useful for musculoskeletal radiology and orthopaedic imaging of extremities. The academic talent they tapped at Johns Hopkins was from the Department of Biomedical Engineering rather than neurologists or radiologists. I was left with the opinion that the main thrust of this project in Buffalo was to focus on "point-of-care" orthopedic injuries among the players rather than brain injuries. Could it be that the team (or perhaps the article) was piggy-backing on the interest in CTE but that the major focus of the project was elsewhere. There is nothing wrong with this -- it just seems that the reader of the article was lead a little astray.
