Broca's area is closely related to Wernicke's area. It, too, works with spoken language and was actually discovered before Wernicke's area. Both of these areas are found on the same side of the brain, usually the left.
Intravenous dye may be used in some imaging procedures (e.g., CT scan, MRI scan). Contrast dye is not used in all cases.Although rare, some patients suffer allergic reactions to the dye and newer contrast agents are quite expensive.he primary risk of a CT scan is radiation. If intravenous contrast is used, there is a risk for allergic reaction as well. Overall, the risks of CT are small.
The rest of this article discusses medical-imaging X-ray CT; industrial applications of X-ray CT are discussed at industrial computed tomography scanning. The term computed tomography (CT) is often used to refer to X-ray CT, because it is the most commonly known form. But, many other types of CT exist, such as positron emission tomography (PET) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT).
