Useful to know!

What's the difference between X-Ray, CT scan, and MRI?

X-rays use electromagnetic radiation to create images of bones and dense structures within the body. It is commonly used to detect fractures, infections, tumors, and other abnormalities.

X-rays are quick, relatively inexpensive, and readily available.

CT scans use X-rays and advanced computer processing to create cross-sectional images of the body. They provide more detailed information than traditional X-rays and can show bones, organs, blood vessels, and soft tissues.

CT scans are useful in diagnosing conditions such as internal injuries, tumors, infections, and blood clots.

MRI uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of soft tissues, organs, and structures inside the body. It provides excellent contrast between different types of soft tissues and is particularly useful for imaging the brain, spinal cord, joints, and muscles.

MRI does not involve ionizing radiation, making it a safer option for imaging, especially for pregnant women and children.

However, MRI scans take longer to perform, are more expensive, and may not be suitable for individuals with certain medical implants or metal objects in their bodies
