Why hasn't she had an MRI and/or a PET scan, anyone know?
from this blog:
"Based on this evidence Terri Schiavo should have a CT scan repeated. She should also have an MRI and a PET scan to gage the severity of her brain dysfunction.
IF THIS IS TERRI'S CT OF THE BRAIN, SOMETHING MAY BE VERY WRONG"
Michael's lawyer got the judge to agree that that would be the only test necessary. As one senator or congressman the other day said, "Spare no expense, eh?" because the other tests are more expensive but also give so much more information. Might have been Frist, but at this point, I'm not sure who it was who said that.
Assuming the electrode implant is still in her brain (which I believe it probably is), an MRI scan would probably kill her. Not sure about the PET though.
