The fact that Alonso was there is immaterial. And just as we are not privy to his medical records, neither are we aware that he even wanted to have another scan. However, we do know that Ron Dennis wanted it to happen, whilst we also know, from his own mouth, that Alonso was accepting of the doctors' decision knowing that it was done in his best interests.

Furthermore, all we know is that Alonso's doctor/s in Spain confirmed that the trapped air between his lungs and rib cage had dissipated, but there was no word about anything else. And as has been said, the FIA's medical team's word is the final one regardless of whatever anyone else says. I also think that Todt's view should be ignored, because he usually doesn't know what he is saying. Alonso flew back to Spain after the accident, but would have done so only after the FIA's doctors had cleared him to fly. They had to be involved in that decision because of the inherent dangers from flying in a pressurised aircraft with such injuries. And I am dammed sure that the FIA didn't give him a clean bill of health after the accident.
