What is the difference between an X-ray, CT scan, MRI, and ultrasound?

Each type of diagnostic imaging provides different information about the body. X-rays are commonly used to examine bones, joints, and certain chest conditions. CT scans use X-ray technology to create detailed cross-sectional images of internal structures, while MRI scans use magnetic fields and radio waves to capture detailed images of soft tissues, muscles, and organs. Ultrasound uses sound waves to examine internal organs, blood flow, and other structures. Your healthcare provider will recommend the imaging test best suited to your medical needs.

How should I prepare for a diagnostic imaging appointment?

Preparation for diagnostic imaging depends on the type of exam being performed. Some procedures, such as certain ultrasounds or CT scans, may require you to avoid eating or drinking for a period of time. MRI appointments may require you to remove jewelry or other metal objects and provide information about implanted medical devices.
