The key difference between a CT scan and MRI is that a CT scan is painless, non-invasive, and uses X-rays, whereas MRI is non-invasive and uses radio frequency pulses and strong magnetic fields to access detailed images of your internal organs such as the brain, reproductive system, and other organ systems.
No, the MRI scanning procedure is pain-free. Usually, patients won’t experience the impact of radio waves or magnetic fields produced except for the resounding and recurring noises from the internal part of the scanner but are provided with earplugs or cushioned headphones with slight music to counter noises.
Generally, MRI scans consume time enormously, but it also depends on the required number of scanned images to identify your underlying medical condition. Check as follows:
Doctors prescribe an MRI to scan internal organs, traumas, spinal cord, and muscular and other bone deformities which cannot be diagnosed through the naked eye and provides a clearer picture of your medical condition. The scan results also can help determine the best treatment program for patients.

In some cases, injecting a contrast medium (dye) into your vein prior to the scan might result in a mild allergic reaction.
MRI scans are painless, non-invasive, and precise with their results, but unfortunately, MRI is no exception when it comes to disadvantages. The scan is often unworkable for patients for the two major reasons:
