Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Subjects enrolled in the Professional Fighters Brain Health Study (PFBHS) will receive flortaucipir to explore its use as a biomarker for brain injury related to repetitive head trauma and to examine the relationship between clinical presentation and tau deposition.
