Princeton's Margot Putukian, MD presented "Prospective Clinical Assessment (SCAT2), Hybrid Neuropsychological Testing and Neuroimaging in the Evaluation of Sports-Related Concussions" at the 21st American Medical Society for Sports Medicine Annual Meeting in Atlanta, Ga. on April 24, 2012.
The study showed that the SCAT2, in combination with computerized and paper and pen neuropsychological testing and in some cases, functional MRI gave the most accurate evaluations of the concussed athlete.
"This study is the first to show that the SCAT2 is a useful sideline tool," stated Dr. Putukian. "Our evidence supports multimodal testing of concussed patients by using the SCAT2 in conjunction with hybrid neuropsychological testing and advanced neuroimaging."
