Question

When justin was injured in a car accident, he lost consciousness for 10 minutes. he had sustained numerous lacerations, a right femoral contusion, and, most importantly, had a large open wound on his head. when he arrived at the emergency room, the attending physician immediately ordered which neuroimaging technique to rule out any damage to the soft tissue of the brain?

Answer 1

This would require an MRI. By using the magnetic waves, the doctor can figure out which tissues in the brain sustained damage (if any). In addition, the MRI can produce images that would not be as easily shown by CT scans.
