> I've sometimes wondered if a fall on the head I had a few years back is in someway related to all the problems I've had. I think I'm going to try to get a CAT scan just incase. (I don't get my hopes up for anything anymore though) Do CAT scans of the brain detect lesions, does anybody know?


Both MRI and CT scan are used to detect brain damage. The neurological effects can lead to diverse phenomena from optic problems, to headaches, to dementias, and emotional disturbances, even many years after the initial injury. There are tons of stuff on this on key words

"brain injury" "frontal lobe" "MRI" "scan" "personality change" "stroke"

etc.

just a few here:
