Medics start using scanner that could detect TBI earlier



By J.P. LAWRENCE | STARS AND STRIPES Published: May 27, 2018

AP LIGHTNING, Afghanistan -- Soldiers are trying out a high-tech brain scanner that tests for mild traumatic brain injuries.

The 1st Security Force Assistance Brigade is the first unit to use the smartphone-sized BrainScope device in the field.

Capt. Nicholas Koreerat, a physical therapist in the 1st SFAB, trained newly-arrived medics from the 2nd Squadron (Armored), 1st Cavalry, 4th Infantry Division on the device Saturday at Advising Post Lightning near Gardez.
