Brief Summary:
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the utility of the Banyan UCH-L1/GFAP Detection Assay as an aid in the evaluation of suspected traumatic brain injury (Glasgow Coma Scale score 9-15) in conjunction with other clinical information within 12 hours of injury to assist in determining the need for a CT scan of the head.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment
Traumatic Brain Injury Other: Head CT scan and blood draw within 12 hours of injury
