*Reuters Health, May 25 - Artificial intelligence will someday help doctors see brain injuries that do not show up on conventional imaging studies, researchers say.

The researchers used machine learning to analyze hundreds of brain images from 36 college athletes who played contact sports involving head impacts and 45 college athletes who competed in non-contact sports.

They found those involved in contact sports had tiny structural changes in their brains even though they had never been diagnosed with concussion, according to a report published on Monday in The Neuroradiology Journal. No such changes were seen in the brains of athletes who performed non-contact sports.

"Our results highlight the power of artificial intelligence to help us see things that we could not see before, particularly 'invisible injuries' that do not show up on conventional MRI scans," study leader Junbo Chen of NYU Tandon School of Engineering said in a statement. "This method may provide an important diagnostic tool not only for concussion, but also for detecting the damage that stems from subtler and more frequent head impacts."

Study coauthor Dr. Yvonne Lui of NYU Langone Health noted that both groups of athletes would be expected to have similar brain structure, so the results highlight the potential added brain risk of certain sports.

The current study involved only male athletes. Chen said the researchers will next explore the use of their machine-learning technique for examining head injury in female athletes.
