Einstein in the Media

CNN interviews Michael Lipton, M.D., Ph.D., about his Radiology study that found frequent heading in soccer impacts brain function. Dr. Lipton notes that excessive sub-concussive hits to the head – rather than more serious concussions – may be the culprit for the brain injury he found in his study participants. Dr. Lipton is associate professor of radiology and associate director of the Gruss Magnetic Resonance Research Center at Einstein and medical director of MRI services at Montefiore Medical Center.
