Does cocaine show up on MRI or ct scan?

Cocaine itself does not show up on MRI or CT scans, as these imaging techniques do not detect drugs directly. However, they can reveal changes in the brain or other organs that may result from cocaine use, such as alterations in blood flow or structural damage. Additionally, complications from cocaine use, like strokes or seizures, may be visible on these scans. To detect cocaine, specific drug tests, such as urine or blood tests, are required.
