CT vs MRI, what’s the difference? 🤔

A CT scan is an advanced type of X-ray. Multiple X-rays are taken rapidly from a number of different angles around the body and then arranged by a high-speed computer to produce a cross-sectional view. Can be used to visualize internal organs, head, neck, spine or extremities

MRI produces very clear, detailed pictures of internal organs and structures in your body. It uses a powerful magnetic field, radio waves and a computer to create images in cross-section. An MRI lets your health care provider see structures made of soft tissue, such as tendons, bone marrow, ligaments and cartilage, and organs in your chest, abdomen and pelvis

The ct spins really fast inside on the machine and mri is really loud but is still in the inside

CT - Radioation and the tube is little
MRI - Not Radioactive, but magnetic and the tube are longer

[Dizzyglowworld]

Does an mri detect cancer in the body?

[Stardogcoffe]

CT scan and MRI well I’m not a doctor but both of them focus on different things and do different things and by the looks MRI is bigger so it probably focuses on brain well I know it does and infections and breast cancer

[ivonat.]

I would like to know is MRI or CT scan better for kidney testing? Also, which one shows better intestinal and colon problems?

Mri means detail analysis of our nerve system

[moriahtabirarose]

A CT scan is x ray

A MRI takes pics of organs

[canerdeneryazar]

The inside of the ct spins making a 3d x Ray Image
Unlike the mri who takes pictures with a magnet
