OVERVIEW OF CT SCAN
A CT SCAN, OR COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY SCAN, IS A
MEDICAL IMAGING PROCEDURE THAT USES X-RAYS AND
COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY TO CREATE DETAILED
CROSS-SECTIONAL IMAGES OF THE BODY.

MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is a
non-invasive medical imaging technique that
uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to
generate detailed images of
internal diagnostic
the body's structures for purposes.

MRI Scan High-resolution images, detailed soft
tissue visualization. CT Scan Lower resolution im
ages, better for bone and organ evaluation.

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 radiation
doses. 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
CT scans.

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