• What are MRIs?
• An MRI uses a powerful magnetic field, radio
  waves, and a computer to produce detailed images
  of your body. The strongest and largest magnet is
  found in an MRI exam room. The MRIs are most
  popular for their ability to take images of the
  brain and spinal cord without using x-rays (which
  could be harmful). However, MRIs can help
  diagnose many conditions involving almost any
  organ system.
• The MRI machine creates a magnetic force field
  around the area youre being scanned which allows
  it to pick up on the tissue and fluids in your
  body. Radio waves are transmitted from the MRI
  machine to a receiver in the device which is
  translated into an image of the body that can be
  used to diagnose issues. This magnetic force
  field stops anything metallic from entering the
  machine, including jewellery.
• MRI is typically used for
• joints
• brain
• wrists
• ankles

• What is CT Scan?
• A CT scan (also called a CAT scan) uses computers
  and rotating X-ray machines to create
  cross-sectional images of the body. A CT scan
  shows detailed pictures of soft tissues, blood
  vessels, and bones. They are different than other
  imaging tests in that the images you get are made
  from computer calculations, not photographs. The
  picture provides more information than an
  ordinary X ray. This can help your doctor find
  out if there are any abnormalities in your brain,
  spinal cord, blood vessels, or heart.
• A CT scan is typically used for
• Bone fractures
• Tumors
• Cancer monitoring
• Finding internal bleeding
• Risk
• Both CT scans and MRIs pose some risks when used.
  The risks are based on the type of imaging as
  well as how the imaging is performed.
• CT scan risks include
• harm to unborn babies

• a very small dose of radiation
• a potential reaction to the use of dyes
• MRI risks include
• possible reactions to metals due to magnets
• loud noises from the machine causing hearing
  issues
• increase in body temperature during long MRIs
• An MRI is highly adept at capturing images that
  help doctors determine if there are abnormal
  tissues within the body. MRIs are more detailed
  in their images. In order to produce such
  detailed images.
