: Traumatic Brain Injury Law BlogArmy Uses Blood Test to Diagnose Brain Injuries
By Bruce Stern
Army Col. Dallas Hack, who has been heading up new and exciting research, says that recent data shows a blood test, which looks for unique proteins that spill into the blood stream from damaged brain cells, has accurately diagnosed mild traumatic brain injury in test 34 patients. The simple blood test can diagnose mild traumatic brain damage or concussions. Currently, many doctors can miss these injuries because the damage does not show up on imaging scans, and symptoms such as headaches or dizziness are ignored or downplayed by the victims.
The new findings could rival the discovery of unique proteins in the 1970s that now help doctors identify heart disease."This will in fact do for brain injury what that test did for chest pain. It's going to change medicine entirely," Hack says.
