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.
CT, or CAT scans, are special X-ray tests that produce cross-sectional images of the body using X-rays and a computer. CT scans are also referred to as computerized axial tomography. CT was developed independently by a British engineer named Sir Godfrey Hounsfield and Dr. Alan Cormack.
