Overview
MRI
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has implications similar to that of a CT scan. It has many advantages compared to a CT scan.[1]
- It is more sensitive than a CT scan in identifying the extent of a lesion.
- It is used in the evaluation of a tumor for its invasion of perineural tissue.
It is expensive compared to a CT scan and unsafe for individuals who have metal implants of any kind.
