I wanted to do this quick video to

differentiate between a cat scan and an

MRI so cat scan stands for computerized

tomography and MRI is magnetic resonance

imaging now the real big difference is

the cat scan uses x-ray radiation which

is ionized radiation and that is the big

problem with cat scans because one cat

scan would be equivalent to roughly

around 200 chest x-rays and the MRI uses

radio waves in magnets and they bounce

around different tissues and create this

a very detailed image an MRI is more

detailed than a cat scan MRI is good for

joints brain breasts evaluations blood

vessels discs organs great for torn

ligaments cat scans are good for bone

fractures tumors monitoring cancer over

time internal bleeding and it’s also

faster than MRI the problem of cat scans

as many people have to get follow-up cat

scans so you’re doubling tripling

quadrupling this much radiation and

that’s a lot of potential damage to your

DNA so personally if I had a choice I

would go for an MRI if they recommended

a cat scan I would have to have a very

good reason to do that and I would also

try to get an ultrasound first and if I

absolutely had to get a cat scan I would

increase the amount of niacin to the

diet I would do some prolonged fasting

before and after the cat scan as well as

consume a good amount of cruciferous

vegetables just to counter some of the

damage at the DNA level alright guys

there you have it that would be the

differences between these two tests so
