one of the things that doctor mentioned was that an MRI, as you said, shows no more than the CAT scan

But the other Dr. disputed that, saying the CAT scan doesnt show electrical activity (meaning brain activity


An MRI also does not show electrical activity.

It can and usually does show anomalies in the brain, but not electrical anomalies. EEGs do that.

I wonder how many arguing this situation have a clear understanding of the different medical tests being discussed. I have seen numerous arguments based on a misunderstanding of the various tests that were and were not performed.

I am not a dr. I just happen to have had a brain injury that required me to have had all of these tests and still do have some for follow-up.

I have a conference with docs on Thursday afternoon to discuss my latest MRI/MRA. I'll let ya'll know then whether or not I'm still alive.
