CT Scans do not image the fine things well. There are PET and SPECT imaging systems that can image some issues. They are quiet like a CT Scan. They utilize an injection that acts like a contrast. They can image the metabolic processes in the brain and other issues. The Amen Clinics are quite skilled at SPECT imaging.
I was only out for a minute or so. It would be nice to sleep through the imaging but many of us do not tolerate anesthesia well. I know I do not.
I am scheduled for an hour of full anesthesia this Friday for nasal deviated septum surgery. I do not look forward to the recovery from the anesthesia. Then on the 27th, I will have anesthesia for shoulder surgery needed based in my recent MRI. Hopefully, it will be twilight, not full anesthesia.
