In this article, we explore the distinctions between CT scans and MRI scans, two commonly used medical imaging techniques. We delve into their principles, benefits, and applications, highlighting their unique features.

MRI (Magnetic Resonance
Imaging) is a non-invasive
medical imaging technique
that uses strong magnetic
fields and radio waves to
generate detailed images of

CT Scan: Lower resolution images, better for bone
and organ evaluation.

6. Comparison -
Radiation
Exposure
CT scans (Computed Tomography) use X-rays
to create detailed cross-sectional images of
the body. They involve exposure to ionizing
radiation, which carries a small risk of potential
harm due to cumulative radiationdoses.
MRI scans (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) do
not use ionizing radiation but instead utilize a
strong magnetic field and radio waves to
generate images. MRI scans are considered to
be safer in terms of radiation exposure
compared to CTscans.

CT scan: Generally more comfortable
due to shorter scan time and larger

MRI scan: Can be less comfortable
due to longer scan time, narrower
bore size, and potential for
claustrophobia.
