CT scan vs MRI scan - what are the differences?

Many people are confused with the differences between CT scans and MRI scans and what they are used to diagnose.  The Global Oncology Health Network would like to give a quick explanation of both of these useful diagnostic tools.

CT and MRI scans defined


A CT Scan (or CAT Scan) is best suited for viewing bone injuries, diagnosing lung and chest problems, and detecting cancers. An MRI is suited for examining soft tissue in ligament and tendon injuries, spinal cord injuries, brain tumors, other cancers, etc. CT scans are widely used in emergency rooms because the scan takes fewer than 5 minutes. An MRI, on the other hand, can take up to 30 minutes.

An MRI typically costs more than a CT scan. One advantage of an MRI is that it does not use radiation while CAT scans do. This radiation is harmful if there is repeated exposure.
