What is MRI? 

MRI is an acronym for Magnetic Resonance Imaging, here in this imaging modality a very high powerful magnetic energy is used to produce high quality images of the body to detect and evaluate anomalies. MRI is best suited for evaluation of soft tissue pathologies, given also the benefit that there is no ionizing radiation used for delivering images. Ionizing radiations are harmful and damages the cells of the human body. 

What is CT scan? 

CT scan is the acronym for Computed Tomography Scan where images are produced using a very high amount of ionizing radiation or simply X-Rays, in order to detect and evaluate pathologies of the human body. The images produced by CT scan will give valuable information of bones, vascular system, and soft tissues that can detect medical conditions like injuries, tumors, internal bleeding etc. CT scan modality is most widely used in a medical setting because of its ability to produce detailed images quick and non-invasively.
