CT VS MRI SCAN – WHICH IS BEST FOR YOUR BRAIN IMAGING NEEDS

Do you know the difference between an MRI and CT scan? If not then Afriglobal Medicare is here to help you. A CT scan, also known as a computerized tomography scan, creates cross-sectional images of the body using X-rays. An MRI on the other hand creates images of the body's organs and structures using radio waves and a powerful magnetic field.

  2. OVERVIEW CT scans and MRI scans are two of the most common imaging tests used to find medical problems in the body. Even though the results of both scans are similar in many ways, they are made using different methods.

CT scans and MRI scans are two of the most common imaging tests used to find medical problems in the body. Even though the results of both scans are similar in many ways, they are made using different methods. For cross-sectional imaging, a CT scan takes multiple x-rays from different angles, while an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) uses magnetic fields and radio waves. Because they use different methods, the answer to the question of which imaging modality is better for the brain depends on the reason for the exam.

  3. WHY A CT OR MRI SCAN OF THE BRAIN MIGHT BE NEEDED The images of the brain that are produced by brain scans are extremely detailed. They are beneficial in that they assist medical professionals in detecting and diagnosing illnesses such as tumours, the factors that contribute to strokes, and vascular dementia.

  4. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CT AND MRI SCAN MRI CT Scan MRI is best when the images need to be very detailed, e.g, when  looking for cancer, causes of dementia, neurological diseases, or looking at places where bones might interfere. A CT takes lesser time to conduct, making it the best in cases of trauma and other acute neurological emergencies. 1. CT is cheaper than MRI and less sensitive to patient motion making it the better choice for claustrophobic or overweight patients. MRI does not use ionizing radiation, making it the preference for children and patients requiring multiple imaging examinations. 2. CT allows accurate detection of calcification and metal foreign bodies. MRI has a much greater range of available soft tissue contrast and depicts anatomy in greater detail. 3. CT poses no risk to the patient with implantable medical devices, such as cardiac pacemakers, ferromagnetic vascular clips, e.t.c. MRI can pose a risk heating to patients with implants, and obscure information. 4. https://afriglobalmedicare.com https://afriglobalmedicare.com/

  5. HOW TO PREPARE YOURSELF FOR A SCAN There is no specific preparation that has to be done in order to take either of these scans; however, you will need to remove anything that includes metal from your person, such as jewellery and hairpins. In order for the scan to be successful, you will need to maintain complete stillness throughout the process.

  6. IS THERE ANY DANGER ASSOCIATED WITH THE SCANS? Scans are completely safe to undergo as medical treatments. And despite the fact that CT scans put patients at risk of radiation exposure, modern scanners are built to ensure that patients are not subjected to excessively high doses of radiation. Before recommending a CT scan for you, your doctor will always consider the pros and cons of getting one and evaluate them against one another.
