Boxers and American footballers seem to be particularly at risk from this.
One of the ironies is that the greater the protection the greater the risk ie boxing gloves and football helmets.
The padding alleviates short term pain but allows harder hitting which is conducive to brain damage.
Footballers should go back to the padded leather helmets of previous eras and ditch the dangerous helmets.

They should do these same scans on auto accident victims as they also suffer same concussions.
