According to a March 30, 2005 article in the Star Tribune, this image was distributed to the public by Neurologist Ronald Cranford and Michael Schiavo. [1]

The image is fair use, since the doctor released his image in the public: Terri Schiavo's 2002 CAT scan. Ronald E. Cranford, M.D., who examined her in 2002, provides this scan of Schiavo's brain. Cranford was assistant chief of neurology at the Hennepin County Medical Center. [2] [3]. He died on May 31, 2006.[4]
