It's National Neurodiagnostics Week—let's delve into the distinction between MRI and CT scans! 🧠✨ CT scans use X-rays and computers to create body 'slices', solving organ overlap but struggling with poor tissue resolution. This limitation makes spotting subtle tissue changes tough, especially in areas like the brain or spinal cord. In contrast, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) employs 'pulse sequences' to highlight tissues with remarkable clarity, revealing diseases CT scans might miss, such as
