Question

Alfred the brain was in a car accident, and the doctor suspects that Alfred may have suffered from structural damage. What type of test would be the most appropriate to find out whether there is structural damage?

a) MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
b) EEG (Electroencephalogram)
c) PET (Positron Emission Tomography) scan
d) Blood test

Answer 1

The most appropriate test to find out whether there is structural damage in the brain after a car accident is an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan.

Step-by-step explanation:

The most appropriate test to find out whether there is structural damage in the brain after a car accident is an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan. In an MRI, a person is placed inside a machine that generates a strong magnetic field. The magnetic field causes the hydrogen atoms in the cells to emit electromagnetic signals, which are interpreted by a computer to create detailed images of the brain's structure.
