Official Title: Screening Brain MRI in High School Football: What is the Risk of Traumatic Brain Injury and Does the Guardian Cap Reduce the Incidence of Injury as Determined by Fluid-attenuated Inversion Recovery (F
Brief Summary: Screening Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with Fluid-attenuated Inversion Recovery (FLAIR) and Susceptibility Weighted Imaging (SWI) sequences will be performed pre and post season on high school football players. One set of players will wear the Guardian Cap on their five star rated helmets and the other will wear five star rated helmets only. The investigators will compare outcomes of ImPACT scores and MRI findings between the two groups to see if there is a statistical difference in reduction of injury and to establish what the baseline level of MRI findings related to injury from high school football is as well as what the baseline level of injury is prior to the start of the season.
