    Comparison Between CT and MRI

    Uploaded by

    The document compares CT scans and MRIs. CT scans use X-rays to capture images of tissues, organs, and skeletal structure, while MRIs use radio waves and magnets to create more detailed images that can show abnormal tissue. The main differences are that CT scans use X-rays while MRIs use radio waves and magnets, and each may be better suited for certain circumstances depending on the situation.

    CT scans and MRIs both capture images within your body. CT scans
    provide pictures of tissues, organs, and skeletal structure while MRIs are
    more detailed and can show abnormal tissue.

    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.

    What are MRIs?


    Using radio waves and magnets, MRIs are used to view objects inside
    your body. They’re frequently used to diagnose issues with your: Joints,
    brain, wrists, ankles, breasts, heart and blood vessels.

    A constant magnetic field and radio frequencies bounce off of the fat and
    water molecules in your body. Radio waves are transmitted to a receiver
    in the machine which is translated into an image of the body that can be
    used to diagnose issues.

    An MRI is a loud machine. Typically, you’ll be offered earplugs or


    headphones to make the noise more bearable.

    You’ll also be asked to lie still while the MRI is taking place.
    What are CT scans?
    A CT scan is a form of X-raying that involves a large X-ray machine. CT
    scans are sometimes called CAT scans. A CT scan is typically used for:
    bone fractures, tumors, cancer monitoring and finding internal bleeding

    During a CT scan, you’ll be asked to lie down on a table. The table then
    moves through the CT scan to take cross-sectional pictures inside your
    body.

    1. Ease of use:
    CT scans are generally easier to use than MRI machines. CT scans are faster and
    require less time for the patient to remain still during the scan. MRI machines, on
    the other hand, require the patient to lie still for a longer period of time, which
    can be uncomfortable for some patients. Additionally, MRI machines produce
    loud noises during the scan, which can be unsettling for some patients.

    2. Cost of use:
    The cost of a CT scan is generally less than an MRI scan. CT scans are
    less expensive because they are quicker to perform and do not require as
    much specialized equipment. MRI machines are more expensive to
    purchase and maintain than CT machines.
    3. Frequency of patient tests:
    Both CT and MRI scans can be performed multiple times on a patient
    without any hazards to the patient's health. However, the frequency of the
    tests will depend on the patient's condition and the judgment of the
    physician ordering the tests.

    4. Ease of institutional use:


    Both CT and MRI machines require specialized training to operate, but
    CT machines are generally easier to maintain and repair than MRI
    machines. CT machines are also smaller and require less space than
    MRI machines, making them easier to install in smaller medical facilities.

    5. Principle of work:
    CT scans use X-rays to create cross-sectional images of the body, while
    MRI scans use a strong magnetic field and radio waves to produce
    detailed images of the body's internal structures. CT scans are better at
    producing images of bones and organs, while MRI scans are better at
    producing images of soft tissues.
