Default question about scans & work. comp.

Hi
I am getting worried that work. comp. will try to say that there is nothing wrong with me 1.5 years after my accident. I have had a CT, CTA and MRI. They all came up clear of course. My question is - is there a scan I could get that would "prove" that my brain is still injured and would show work. comp. that there is still something wrong with me?

I have heard of several scans other than the normal ones - MRA, DTI, fMRI, MRI with contrast, etc... But I am not clear on what they show or if they would be helpful in my case.

Also, is there a chance that these scans would come up clear even though I am still having symptoms?

Thank you.
