Question

A patient enters a hospital after hitting her head in a car accident. she is diagnosed with a fractured skull but has other symptoms that show she is suffering from brain damage. what technology should be used to confirm this diagnosis? explain.

Answer 1

The technology that should be used to confirm the diagnosis to a patient with a fractured skull and who has symptom of suffering from brain damage is Magnetic response imaging (MRI) technology

This is because brain is a soft tissue and testing does not use ionizing radiation which can increase the risk of cancer.
The magnetic response imaging technology uses a powerful magnetic field, radio frequency pulses and a computer to produce detailed picture of organs, soft tissue, bones and virtually all other internal structure.
