can anyone explain to me the indications for the two? what i mean is, why is sometimes an MRI ordered and sometimes a CT?

Platon20,

Ultimately, you're incorrect! MRI is NOT better for just about anything than CT. Visit www.ct-scan-info.com and click on CT vs MRI for the correct information, that comes from a registered and certified CT Technologist. CT has it's area of image superiority and so does MRI; they're not interchangeable and one is not better than the other for all things.

im goin to agree with catscanman here. CT is definetly not the poor mans MRI by all means. Both are wonderful modalities and they both have their ups and downs. I am clearly non biased as well. Im registered in xray/ct/mri/nuclear medicine.

Just curious, having dizzy spells more like vertigo. Which is the better test to go thru CT or MRI to see what might be causing it?
