What are CT & MRI Scans?
CT Scans (Computed Tomography) use X-rays and computer processing to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body. They are commonly used to diagnose conditions such as fractures, tumors, infections, and internal bleeding.
MRI Scans (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) use strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of soft tissues, such as the brain, muscles, and joints. They are often used to diagnose conditions like brain disorders, spinal cord injuries, and joint abnormalities.

What is a CT scan?
A CT (Computed Tomography) scan uses X-rays and computer processing to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body, helping diagnose fractures, tumors, and internal injuries.
What is an MRI scan?
An MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of soft tissues, such as the brain, muscles, and joints, useful for detecting neurological disorders and musculoskeletal problems.
Are they safe?
CT scans are generally safe, but they do involve exposure to a small amount of ionizing radiation. The benefits usually outweigh the risks, especially when used to diagnose serious conditions.
MRI scans are very safe as they do not use ionizing radiation. However, they are not recommended for patients with certain implants or metal objects in their bodies.
