Three patients in the waiting room that Servies Radiography and Nuclear Medicine.
1. an elderly woman has fallen while leaving her house. She is in great pain, is unable to walk, and has probably broken the neck of her femur.
2. an elderly man has a slurred speech and drooping facial features indicative of a stroke.
3. a 23 year-old male, is known to have multiple sclerosis, but the extent of regeneration in his nervous system is to be evaluated.
*one of these patients is scheduled for a PET scan, one for an MRI, and one for an x-ray. Match the patient with appropriate procedure.

...Answer,,The elderly women is waiting for an x-ray...
The possible stroke victimiwith the droopy face is waiting for
an MRI..and maybe also a pet scan depending on the severity
of the stroke and the likly hood of rehabilitation.I think the same
may include a victim pof multple scero,depending on where
the illness has affected.Which could range from anywhere
or the brain.

I believe it would be:
1. The Xray
2. The Pet Scan
3. The MRI

1. Xray
2. PET scan
3. MRI
2 and 3 can be interchangable as both are common tests for stroke and multiple sclerosis. PET probably more likely for undetermined stroke as it can locate the the spot of orgin a little better then an MRI.

1. X RAY
2. CT ( no MRI needed to prove or disprove that )
and 3. PET ( although I'm not a PET tech but multiple guess only leaves that answer to be correct )

1. Xray - quick and easy way to diagnose a fracture
2. MRI - looking for bleeding in the brain or signs of an infarct
Usually, I think CT is done first
3. PET

1. X-Ray
2. MRI
3. PET
Although I would do a CT before an MRI for a query stroke as it's faster and less traumatic.
