Every so often someone gets smacked in the head REALLY hard and from their injury we learn about the brain.  Most famous case-Phineas Gage.  Phineas was working on the railroad when a iron pole shot through his head.

 After the accident, his personality & behavior changed drastically.  He became violent, angry and unpredictable.  Phineas’s accident first led scientists to believe that various parts of the brain control different parts of who we are.

When a person has a CT scan, they are being exposed to more radiation than when they have a "regular" or conventional x-ray. CT scans are useful because they help doctors diagnose problems by creating very clear images of internal organs. The detailed images help identify problems inside the body, like tumors or damage to organs. CT scans can also help doctors prepare for surgery by providing a map of the disease or injury that surgeons can follow when operating.
