Hello guys,
I have few questions
1. I know MRI is best for soft tissue masses? What does soft tissues mean? I searched on the internet and the definition is vague. Is it simply all the tissue apart from bone in the body, which means its includes organs such as liver. Or is it all supporting tissue in the body such as connective tissue.
2. If soft tissue includes organs such as liver, pancreas. Does this mean since MRI is best for soft tissue masses, it is always the best investigation for liver pathologies when given the choice of performing CT or MRI. I know this depends on the disease and in some cases biopsy, USS may be better options but I'm just asking if given the choice between CT and MRI.
3. I know CT is good for bones. But I read somewhere MRI spine is better than CT spine when detecting spinal fractures.
4. Also is MRI or PET scan better when finding for metasates of certain cancers.
5. Also is CT or MRI better for bones.
Thanks a lot :)
