Question: Whats the difference between a ct scan and an mri!?
I'm going for an mri in two days because i get chronic headaches and i've had ct scans done before but all my doctor said is that it will give her a better view of my brain and neck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
MRI is magnetic resonance imaging!. CT is computed tomography, where they take a bunch of x-ray images and put them together to make 3-d reconstruction!. CT gives high resolution images of structures!. MRI's are better for representing functionality!. CTs also deliver a lot of radiation to your body!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

hi! an MRI is more accurate than a CT Scan!. try having a second opinion look for Gary Lopez at the Makati Med!. at the second floor or ask his office at the information to be sure!. this is not a joke if you do feel something if it involves the heart!. how old are you!? are you doing exercise!. do you eat the right food!? this are the common type of problems surfacing right now!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
