Does Normal Ct Scan Confirm Mental Stability?

My brother in law had a massive heart attack. Survived (they call him Miracle Man in the ccu) but he has not been weaned from the ventilator. Today they performed a ct scan and it came back normal. Does that mean that he will be mentally ok when he wakes up?

Hi, normal ct scan report does not mean that he is mentaly stable. Normal ct suggest that there is no any major structural abnormalities is there . However mental trauma depends on many cause and it does not show any abnormality in ct scan report. We can say only after he wake up.nothing can be said by normal ct scsn.
thanks for using health care magic.
