- A patient is brought into the emergency room showing symptoms such as dropping mouth and slurred speech. The doctor suspects a stroke and immediately arranges a computerized tomography (CT) scan of the patient's head to aid diagnostics. Discuss why the doctor may have suggested a CT scan over magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Describe in detail the physical basis of CT. The next day after the patient has been hospitalized the doctor decides to have a MRI to complement the diagnosis. Name one advantage of MRI compared to CT. Describe in detail the physical basis of MRI. The are two main types of stroke: ischemic, caused by a lack of blood flow and hemorrhagic, due to bleeding. On the basis of the CT scan, discuss how each type of stroke would appear in the CT scan.
