New test could diagnose CTE in living NFL players
Original: Would NFL players take a test that could diagnose CTE in the living?
A diagnostic test capable of detecting chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, in living people is raising questions in the NFL, where the degenerative brain disease has only ever been confirmed after death. Coverage asks whether current and former players would be willing to take such a test and what results could mean for the league.
Why now: A newly available CTE test for living patients touches on the NFL's ongoing brain injury controversy and players' health concerns.
