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.
