CT scan is common in emergency and bone-related diagnosis but unless she had metal objects surgically implanted in her body MRI is more likely for brain. At least MRI makes more pretty image of soft tissues like brain. MRI uses very strong magnetic field but not x-ray or other high energy radiation. Of course Picasso's sculptures wouldn't be allowed to bring to the scanner because of obvious reasons... nails, etc. (CT would require a lot more radiation exposure than a straight-forward x-ray, at least with current technology, but it can be used without asking the patient if s/he had metal object implanted in the body, etc., so that's used in emergency.)
