I wanted to make this quick video about CT scans vs MRI scans. How do these scans differ? 

CT is short for computerized tomography, and MRI is short for magnetic resonance imaging. Here is the biggest difference between the two:

• CT scans use X-ray radiation but are much faster than MRIs.
• MRI scans use radio waves and magnets to create a very detailed image. 

MRI scans are great for taking images of:

• Joints
• Brain tissue
• Breast tissue
• Blood vessels
• Discs
• Organs
• Torn ligaments

CT scans are great for taking images of:

• Bone fractures
• Tumors
• Cancer
• Internal bleeding

Problems with getting CT scans: 
• The amount of radiation that a single scan exposes you to is equivalent to 200 chest X-rays. 
• You often need to go back for subsequent scans, which exposes you to even more radiation. 
• Too much radiation can cause damage to your DNA.

When talking about CT scans vs MRI scans, you can see that MRIs are the best way to go. However, there are certain situations where only a CT scan will work. In that case, I recommend doing three things to help offset the effects of the radiation on the body:

• Take niacin
• Fast before and after
• Consume cruciferous vegetables
