I heard CT is not accurate. Needs to be MRI. Her implants have to come out for that. I can't wait! Can you?!
MRI's are not usually used for this purpose. CT's are, and they are enhanced with isotopes to show the vascular array.
You don't need MRI tests unless you are looking for muscle and tendon problems.
Besides, she had a MRI early on to do just that apparently, because the Dr. said he saw one...
The CT is accurate, it just cant tell you whether what is left is comprised of living neurons, or the gliotic tissue that holds them together.
As for "can't wait"... are they going to remove it? I sure do wish they would, or at least give her another trial of therapy and re-evaluation. I don't like doing what they're doing with people unsure of her status.
