The advantage of a CT scan is that it’s more pleasant for the patient than an MRI. The CT scan can take as little as 5 minutes to do, but each CT emits powerful radiation equivalent to 200 X-rays per session. I hate having a CT scan and can appreciate your anxiety. The MRI builds up images made from magnetism and radio frequency, no radiation is involved, but it’s more noisy and can take up to an hour inside the tube. An MRI is more costly. Next week it’s my turn, I am having a full body vascular scan, no X-rays/no radiation
All the best for today.
