What is difference between computed tomography from MRI: meets Ministry of Health

Specialist Expert of the Ministry of Health of Azerbaijan Agakishi Yakhjayev answered questions from radiological research in social networks applicants.

Sue, what body of man and fabric can not clearly consider with an ultrasound study, A. Yaiyev noted: “Some internal organs (light, gastrointestinal tract) or a completely covered brain-bone tissue examine with the help of ultrasound is not possible. Since newborn rodnikov (the neo-woolen section of the skull vendor) is open until it leaves, you can use ultrasound to study brain tissue. Due to the fact that the joints of the newborn are not fully inflated, the hip joints are examined using ultrasound examination. “

Specialist expert of the Ministry of Health made clarity in contrast to magnetic resonance tomography (MRI) from computed tomography (CT). According to him, today MRI and CT are the most informative and high-precision instrumental diagnostic methods that create a layered three-dimensional image of internal organs and allowing reliable conclusions about the processes occurring in the patient’s body. “Both techniques visualize the pathology of the body. The smallest violations in the tissues will be reflected in the picture and will allow you to quickly make an accurate diagnosis. At the same time, MRI and CT differ fundamentally both in cases of applications and in the scanning methods,” Agakishi Yakhyaev continued. – Magnetic resonance tomography has a number of advantages. The most important of them is the possibility of assessing the majority of human bodies in the fabric level. “

The second important advantage of MRI, according to A.Yajaev, is that this diagnostic method does not contain harmful rays, such as X-rays, and for this reason this method of diagnostics can easily be appointed small children and pregnant women; Also Agaki Yahayev emphasizes that the doctors should not use the MRI diagnostic method during survey of the lungs and gastrointestinal tract: “To obtain an image, the magnetic resonance tomograph does not use X-ray. The procedure for MRI of the esophagus and stomach allows you to accurately diagnose and determine the necessary treatment .
