A medical question...doctors or nurses please?!


Question: In your opinion, what is better. A CT Scan or Ultra Sound? Does it matter much or is there a big difference depending on the area of the body? I've had both and neither seemed to pinpoint my health problem. I am just curious, could my healthcare provider be grasping at straws here?

CT scan with contrast is better for imaging, however, worst for radiation. An ultrasound does not emit radiation, it is safer but not as accurate. An MRI would be the way to go.

In my experience, a CT Scan and Ultra Sound show different things.

an mri scan is ur best bet
