What’s the difference between CTs and MRIs, and what should you do if you need one?
I wanted to make this quick video about CT scans vs MRI scans. How do these scans differ?
CT is short for computerized tomography, and MRI is short for magnetic resonance imaging. Here is the biggest difference between the two:
• CT scans use X-ray radiation but are much faster than MRIs.
• MRI scans use radio waves and magnets to create a very detailed image.
MRI scans are great for taking images of:
• Joints
• Brain tissue
• Breast tissue
• Blood vessels
• Discs
• Organs
• Torn ligaments
CT scans are great for taking images of:
• Bone fractures
• Tumors
• Cancer
• Internal bleeding

| 0:29.0 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Kito and Interminute fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. I wanted to do this quick video to differentiate between a CAT scan and an MRI. |
| 0:49.4 | So CAT scan stands for computerized tomography and MRI is magnetic resonance imaging. |
| 0:55.6 | Now the real big difference is the CAT scan uses x-ray radiation which is ionized |
| 1:01.8 | radiation and that is the big problem with cat scans because one |
| 1:06.6 | cat scan would be equivalent to roughly around 200 chess x-rays and the MRI uses radio waves in magnets and they bounce around |
| 1:16.4 | different tissues and create this very detailed image. An MRI is more |
| 1:21.2 | detailed than a CAT scan. |
| 1:23.0 | MRI is good for joints, brain, breast evaluations, |
| 1:28.0 | blood vessels, discs, organs, great for torn ligaments. |
| 1:33.0 | Cat scans are good for bone fractures, tumors, |
| 1:37.0 | monitoring cancer over time, internal bleeding, |
| 1:41.0 | and it's also faster than MRI. |
| 1:42.0 | The problem with cat scans is many people... internal bleeding and it's also faster than MRI. |
| 1:42.8 | The problem with CAT scans is many people have to get follow-up CAT scans. |
| 1:47.0 | So you're doubling, tripling, quadrupling this much radiation and that's a lot of potential |
| 1:52.1 | damage to your DNA. So personally if I had a |
| 1:54.9 | choice I would go for an MRI. If they recommended a CAT scan I would have to have a |
| 1:59.9 | very good reason to do that and I would also try to get an ultrasound first and if I |
| 2:05.3 | absolutely had to get a cat scan I would increase the amount of nyacine in the |
