CT SCANNING

CT scanning is a radiographic procedure used for diagnosis. X-rays are taken from a series of different angles and assembled to show a cross- sectional view of internal organs. In this procedure the patient is exposed to a very small amount of radiation.

CT scanning is used when more detailed information are needed by the doctors than regular x-rays provide, particularly to look for head injuries, brain disease, and tumors.

MRI SCANNING

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), A versatile, powerful, and sensitive tool, MRI can generate thin-section images of any part of the body including the heart, arteries, and veins from any angle and direction.

In current medical practice, MRI is preferred for diagnosing most diseases of the brain and central nervous system. MRI scanners also provide imaging complementary to X-ray images because MRI can distinguish soft tissue in both normal and diseased states.
