Are there brain injuries that CT scans and MRI’s don’t pick up?
Because the brain is so complex and sensitive, traumatic injuries can result in brain damage that even MRI and CT scans fail to detect. After the Vietnam War, research neuropsychologists working with thousands of patients developed neuropsychological testing that could evaluate very specific brain functions. Traumatic brain injury lawyers know that a skilled neuropsychologist can help identify deficits caused by TBI which escaped diagnosis by MRI and CT.
