Which of the following imaging techniques would be best for visualizing a skull fracture?
A)CT (computerized tomography)
B)PET (positron emission tomography)
C)fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging)
D)DTI (diffusion tensor imaging)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

CT (computerized tomography) is the best imaging technique for visualizing a skull fracture as it produces detailed images of the bones and can easily detect fractures in the skull. CT scans use X-rays to create images, and they are commonly used in emergency rooms for the diagnosis of head injuries. PET (positron emission tomography) and fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) are not suitable for visualizing bone injuries, as they primarily show blood flow and brain activity. DTI (diffusion tensor imaging) is useful for studying white matter and neural connections in the brain, but it is not used for diagnosing skull fractures.
