- Pica_soO 10y agoOne thing i was always amazed by was how flexible the brain is when it comes to recovery. I saw stroke patience recover speech, although the neurons for it where partially gone on the x-rays.
- ido 10y agoDo they do brain x-rays? I thought that'd be an MRI.
- abalone 10y agoThey probably meant MRI, but yes, they do CT scans of brains, and this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angiography https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angiography
- ido 10y agoOh yes - didn't even realize CT scans are using x-rays...I somehow associated the name with that kind of stuff they used to do 20+ years ago when you broke a bone. My recent experiences were all CTs, MRIs & ultrasounds.
