longnshort, According to these news items, Terri Schiavo has apparently had several scans. - Holly arstechnica.com "Comparing a 1996 CT scan of her brain to a normal brain, it is possible to see the atrophied areas throughout the cerebral cortex (above and to the sides of the large ventricles in the centre). Although there have been calls for an MRI scan, MRIs use powerful magnets for imaging and would cause the implanted electrodes to act as a blender inside her skull." cnn.com "If you look at a brain scan of Terri, where her cerebral cortex used to be is a black hole filled with spinal fluid," he said. "There is simply no hope of recovery for Terri." foxnews.com "Doctors say she is severely brain-damaged and has no chance of recovery in her persistent vegitative state. A CAT scan made several years ago indicates that her cerebral cortex, the upper part of the brain, has largely atrophied and been replaced by spinal fluid. Doctors say the damaged part of her brain also is the part that feels pain." azcentral.com
