It's not one of my areas of knowledge. It is fairly obvious that it is an image of a severly damaged brain, however. I have enough knowledge to recognize that, at least.

DO you have enough knowledge to know that with that level of cortex, PET and Resonance are indicated?

Perhaps, and perhaps not. It depends on the rest of the patient evaluation. It's clear that there's extensive damage from this slice of the CAT scan.

Based on other diagnostic information, it might not be necessary to go further.

I'm not a doctor, so I can't be more definitive. I just wanted people to see a picture of Terri's brain. It's not a pretty sight.
