A member asked:
Can an mri or other type scan show brain damage from encephalitis at age 10 and car accident at age 18 in which i was unconscious for 45 min. i am 60?

Maybe: An MRI might show in dramatic detail any abnormalities in your brain tissue. However, it is unlikely it would be able to associate any of the findings with a particular time in your life. A normal scan, would exclude any lasting such injury.
