Summary

This study tests a small, portable device that uses near-infrared light to find brain bleeds in people with traumatic brain injury. The goal is to see if it works as well as a CT scan, especially in places like battlefields or rural areas where CT machines aren't available. About 80 adults will be scanned with the device, and the results will be compared to their CT scans.
