> does anyone know if this could ever be diagnosed while the person is alive? I don't believe that's possible (yet) but the good news is that several Research Institutes are said to be conducting on going research into diagnosing C.T.E while the person is still alive.. > At this time CTE can only be diagnosed after death by postmortem neuropathological analysis. Right now there is no known way to use MRI, CT, or other brain imaging methods to diagnose CTE. The CTE Center is actively conducting research aimed at learning how to diagnose CTE during life.
