Hi i am a former athlete ive wrestled played soccer ect and am wondering if there are tests for cte on living patients?

No reliable tests: YET. However research in P.E.T scans of the brain are promising! Find a good Sports Medicine Doctor and see him/her for evaluation and follow-up! Hope this helps Dr Z

Working on it: Unfortunately, there is no definitive test to diagnose CTE in living patients. A lot of research is being done to look for a test, like a specific SPECT or PET scan pattern, Beta-amyloid) peptides, or a urine study for neural thread protein, etc., but no definitve study exists yet. Research is working hard to develop that test, hopefully this answer will be different soon.

Not yet: only tests available ore done after someone dies.
