Question

In imaging, NMR is superior to CT scanning because

• A. It generally gives much greater contrast between normal and abnormal tissues.
• B. It is free from radiation hazards.
• C. Image can be obtained in any plane.
• D. All of the above.

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above.

In imaging, NMR is superior to the CT scan because NMR has the ability to image without the use of ionizing radiation (x-ray). Images may be acquired in multiple planes (axial, sagittal, coronal, or oblique) without repositioning the patient. It gives clear contrast between normal and abnormal tissues. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
