  2. MRI (MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING) MRI scans are noninvasive and painless. MRI is the use of magnetic fields and radio waves to give a detailed cross- sectional image of a patient’s organs and other structures so doctors can give an accurate interpretation.

  3. CT COMPUTERI ZED TOMOT GRAPHY CT (also known as a CAT scan) uses x-ray technology to create pictures from different areas around the body and translates them into cross sections of the patient’s tissues and organs.

  4. MRI VS CT An MRI is best used to examine soft tissue in ligament and tendon injuries, spinal cord injuries, brain tumors, etc., while a CT is mostly used to view bone injuries, CT scans can be used for many purposes, but are mostly for internal injuries from car accidents or other types of trauma. It is also used many times in the emergency room.

  5. MRI VS CT MRI scans take a lot longer than CT scans. A CT is usually completed within 5 minutes to take an image, while an MRI scan can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours in some cases.
