🤔 Ever wondered what the difference is between a CT scan and an MRI? CT (Computed Tomography) scans use x-rays to quickly create detailed images, often for bone fractures. 🦴 You’ll move in and out of the scanner in just a few minutes. MRIs (Magnetic resonance imaging), on the other hand, use magnets and radio waves to capture detailed images of organs and tissues, like the brain and spine 🧠. They take longer (about 30 minutes) and can be a bit noisy and you’ll need to stay still during the pr

Risks of CT Scans New research shows that CT scan radiation may be responsible for 1 in every 20 cancer cases in the U.S. That’s over 103,000 cancers per year—from the very machines used to detect disease. Most people have no idea these scans come with ionizing radiation strong enough to damage DNA. And when multiple scans are done—especially on children—the risk skyrockets. Some estimates show up to 20 cancers per 1,000 scans for kids under 1. Safer options (if applicable): MRI Ultrasound Full-
