Would a person need an MRI if they had amnesia?

What kind of tests would a person who has amnesia have performed on them in the hospital?Would a person need an MRI if they had amnesia?
Initially a CT scan may be done as it is quicker and cheaper than an MRI and will show any obvious causes like cerebral contusion or stroke.

If the CT doesn't show anything or needs more specific imaging then an MRI would be considered.
