It's a 100% medical Fact that 95% of boxers who suffer brain bleeds already have the injury before they get in the ring (basically the damage is done in sparring) I think it's only a matter of time until Boxing follows suit and these are used in all fights as a mandatory rule
And let's be honest/logical here..... Guys like Mike Towell (who was complaining of severe headaches days before his fatal fight) would still be alive today if someone took 2 mins to scan his head and detect damage prior to the fight!

Thoughts...?

I've never read about the effectivity of portable brain scanner but if they are sa reliable as what you say, there is just no excuses in the world not to use them in every major sports organisation where head trauma are possible; ski, american football, boxing, MMA. These devices can save lives and avoid consequences from internal head bleeding.
