These scans let doctors see inside the body without surgery.
Here’s the difference is between an X-ray, CT scan, and MRI.
🦴 X-ray
Quick and best for bones, fractures, and chest images.
Low radiation. Fast. In and out.
🧠 CT Scan
Like a more detailed X-ray. Shows bones and soft tissue (think brain, organs, bleeding). Gives 3D views. Quick & Painless. Can detect lung cancer before symptoms.
🧲 MRI
Best for soft tissue: muscles, joints, nerves, brain, spine.
No radiation—just magnets. Longer scan time, but super detailed.
