Bergman Ross & Partners Radiologists

CT or MRI – which scan is right for you?

While both CT and MRI are advanced imaging technologies used to diagnose and monitor a wide range of conditions, they work in different ways and are suited to different clinical needs.

✔ CT scans use X-rays and are often ideal for evaluating bones, lungs, trauma, bleeding, and many emergency conditions.

✔ MRI scans use powerful magnets and radio waves to produce highly detailed images of soft tissues, joints, the brain, spine, muscles, and internal organs—without using radiation.

The choice between CT and MRI depends on your symptoms, medical history, and what your doctor needs to investigate.

Understanding Your Radiology Report

Have you received an MRI, CT scan, ultrasound, mammogram, or X-ray report and wondered what it means?

Your radiology report contains valuable information that helps your doctor understand your condition and guide the next steps in your care. Understanding the findings, impression, recommendations, and follow-up advice can help you feel more informed and confident about your healthcare journey.

Always discuss your imaging results with your referring doctor, who can explain what they mean in the context of your symptoms and medical history.
