My understanding is that an MRI cannot be done because of a medical procedure done on Terri early on. Thats what was reported on FNC

There has been no CT since 1996. PET is doable. MRI is doable if they remove the device in Terri's brain which was urged by the guy who put it there years ago.

That procedure could have been reverse to preform the MRI. In a life vs death case are there not mandates that all tests possible should be performed before a judgement?

According to Michael Schiavo's November 19, 1993 deposition, case No. 90-2908-GD, the electrodes implanted were platinum.

If the items are not paramagnetic (like iron), there would be no danger and no contraindication to an MRI.
