Question: "According to Carlson and Birkett (2021) the CAT scan was the first technology that allowed us to see the structures within the brain of a living being. Showing us the density and differences of structures like bone, tumors, blood clots, lesions, or damaged tissue from a stroke (p95). The strong spatial resolution of the brain with a CAT scan is commended. This was made possible by the advances in computers. The use of x-rays and the exposure to potentially harmful radiation is a downside of this older technology. Though it remains a cheaper and faster option for medicine in assessment of acute trauma. It may be quicker than other technologies like the MRI, but the output is limited to a two dimensional "slice" and is limited to structure. The data gathered allowed researchers to analyze how injuries to specific brain structures affected behavior. And the use of a computer to interpret and display images was groundbreaking for neurologists, opening new ideas for technology."
