We always get asked, what is the difference between X-rays, MRI, and CT scans?🧠🧐
🩻 X-ray (1895 discovery): Uses radiation to quickly show bones, teeth, and chest images. Perfect for spotting fractures and lung issues.
🔬CT Scan (Computed Tomography): A powerful series of X-rays taken from different angles to create 3D cross-sections of the body. Great for detecting tumours, internal bleeding, or organ damage.
🔭MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging): Instead of radiation, it uses magnets and radio waves to capture highly detailed images, especially of the brain, muscles, and soft tissues.
We hope this helps your understanding of different scans 🤝
