Here.. CT vs. MRI: Understanding the Differences - Kings Medical Group The main difference is that CT scans use X-rays to create cross-sectional images, making them ideal for viewing bones and internal injuries, while MRIs use a strong magnetic field and radio waves to generate highly detailed images of soft tissues like organs, muscles, and ligaments. CT scans are faster and don't use magnets, but expose the patient to radiation, while MRIs use no radiation but can be noisy, take longer, and are not suitable for people with certain metal implants
