it produces better images of soft tissues - apex
Well I do know that there is radiation used with a CT scan and an MRI scan does not use radiation at all.
It uses safer compounds to produce contrast.
we have better result with mri
its safer -apex

it is more helpful in determining whether surgery is necessary

A mammogram.
A bone scan, or x-ray is simply a different type of scan than an MRI. No kind of scan is better than another, it simply depends what the scan is trying to ascertain.

No. Some doctors will order MRI with contrast to facilitate better imaging of some body structures. It is not absolutely necessary to have an IV for an MRI but if your doctor believes it is beneficial to have a the MRI with contrast then it best to consent and have the IV.
MRIs == ==
Lots! Most abnormalities of the brain can be seen on MRI better than on a CAT scan e.g. brain tumours, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's, blood clots and lesions. Neuro science is a complex area with numerous diseases and the MRI has greatly assisted in diagnosing neurological conditions.
Diagnosis is usually made by neuroimaging. CT scan or MRI of the brain will show the characteristic abnormality. MRI has better resolution and may detect polymicrogyria or small heterotopias more easily than CT.
