Overview

An MRI scan is more sensitive in identifying intra cranial lesions than a CT scan. It can be used in cases with a high index of suspicion and a negative report on a CT scan.

MRI

  • It is a more sensitive test than a CT scan.
  • It can't be used as a first line of investigation.
  • It is more expensive than a CT scan.
