The Advanced Research Core of the Concussion Assessment Research and Education consortium includes a multi-site, multi-vendor, multi-contrast imaging acquisition protocol with T2 FLAIR, quantitative T2*, task free fMRI, ASL, and DTI. This abstract describes the variance of measurements made in the first year and a half of the study from these imaging methods across a cohort of non-contact sport control athletes. With the variance of these measurements in the colligate athlete population known, the sensitivities of the individual and combined contrasts to diagnose injury and recovery can be assessed.
