"From your first link, I noticed that the court ruled that he was not even qualified to read CT scans which sort of makes his opinion not relevant anyway. Hmmmm..."

No, what it says is that Felos (MS's lawyer) did not establish why he was or was not qualified to read them. The objection was upheld and then Felos proceeded to elicit Cranfords qualification.
2 BY MR. FELOS:
3 Q. First, Dr. Cranford, what experience do
4 you -- first, what experience do neurologists
5 generally have in reading CT scans?
6 A. A great deal of experience. It's a
7 daily, weekly thing.
8 Q. And what experience do you have?
9A. I've reviewed thousands and thousands
10 of CAT scans in the last -- well, CAT scans have
11 only been around for 10, 15 years, but I don't
12 have any idea how many, thousands and thousands
13 and hundreds and hundreds. Well, more than
14 hundreds and hundreds. I mean, I review CAT
15 scans several per week, so it's very common.
16 Q. Dr. Cranford, do you have an opinion,
17 within a reasonable degree of medical certainty,
18 as to whether the 2002 CAT scan shows a
19 regeneration of Theresa Schiavo's brain?

The Parents atty objected again, and the judge overruled obviously accepting the Dr. as qualified...acceptance by the court.

Didn't you read that far or just being misleading?

I didn't read that far. It is still interesting that the court reversed itself with no credentials other than his own word. If I missed the credentials part where he was certified at some point in time to read cat scans, please let me know.
