The difference between an MRI and CT scan

• CT scans and MRIs are both used to capture images
  within your body.
• The biggest difference is that MRIs (magnetic
  resonance imaging) use radio waves and CT
  (computed tomography) scans use X-rays.
• While both are relatively low risk, there are
  differences that may make each one a better
  option depending on the circumstances.
