Elder Woman Fall Down

Dear Pantai & Teams,If a elder woman was fall down few days ago. I need to bring her to CT Scan or MRI scan?

Answer:

The choice between a CT scan or MRI scan depends on the nature of her symptoms and the suspected injury. If the elderly woman has fallen and is experiencing symptoms such as pain, swelling, or difficulty moving, a CT scan may be recommended to check for fractures or internal bleeding, especially if there is a concern about head injuries. On the other hand, if soft tissue injuries or spinal/brain issues are suspected, an MRI scan would provide more detailed imaging. We recommend that she consult with a physician who can assess her condition and determine the most appropriate diagnostic test.
