NEED DONE NOW!!!

You have damaged the tendons or ligaments of your wrist. The repair will require surgery. In order to learn the extent of the injury and then monitor the healing process after the surgery, images of the damaged wrist are needed. WHICH METHOD (mri, ct scan, or x-rays) IS THE BEST TO USE FOR THIS TYPE OF INJURY? INCLUDE A DISCUSSION OF THE PROS AND CONS OF EACH TECHNOLOGY TO SUPPORT YOUR DECISION.

Answer 1

A CT Scan would be the best. I'll explain the rest in a second

Answer 2

A CT scan.

Step-by-step explanation:

CT stands for Computed Tomography which allow doctors to see inside the body with better quality than x-rays. Using a CT scan, it can be monitored organs, bones, tissues, and a more complete anatomy image. Also, a CT scan can offer a 3D image, which enable doctors to see from different point of views. That's why a computed tomography is used to image complex fractures, because allow to reconstruct the area with multiple planes (the image attached show this feature).

Therefore, a CT scan is the correct answer due to the complexity of the damaged wrist.
