How can they tell if brain cells were damaged?

Is there testing they do? Does the cat scan or MRI show it? Call me clueless, but I really don't know.


Thanks!

thanks. I am trying to figure out what to do. :/ No health insurance so my options are a bit limited right now.

Amy,

If there is a medical school near you, you may inquire if there is program that you could participate in that would benefit you and the students.

Amy,

Carole makes a great suggestion for inquiring at a medical school. While MRI's and PET scans are helpful, Neuropsychology Exams would be better to determine if someone would have cognitive deficits due to damaged brain cells. Good luck!
