CT scans vs. MRIs: What are the differences? And which one is best for your pet?

What is the difference between CT Scan vs MRI? And which one is best for your pet? When a dog or cat has symptoms that require a thorough examination, many people are often confused about whether to choose a good CT scan or a good MRI. Today, PKAH Veterinary Center explains an easy-to-understand model with cute illustrations so that the owner can make a more confident decision. CT Scan (CT scan) is suitable for the desired examination. The speed and rigidity of structures such as bones, lungs, ventricles, abdominal cavities, bleeding or accident assessments take a short time, about 510 minutes. It is ideal for those who are not stationary for a long time or have an emergency MRI (MRI). It is suitable for high-resolution examination, especially of organs of the nervous system. For example, brain, spinal cord, muscle, inner ear or various diseases of the nervous system, the highlight is to provide a very sharp image, no radiation, safe in the long term. In short, CT = fast, suitable for bone-injury-bleeding MRI = fine, suitable for brain-spinal cord-nervous system at the veterinary center.
