CT versus MRI
CT
+Excellent bone imaging
+Excellent new acute hemorrhage detection
+Skull fracture, calcified lesion
+Short scan time, metal devices allowed
-Poor contrast and resolution
-Radiation
MRI
+Excellent grey/white matter contrast & spatial resolution
+Better for old hemorrhage (and new with Diffusion?)
-Long scan time
-Pts cannot have metal devices
-Claustrophobia, obesity problems
+No radiation
- expensive

Spin Relaxation• Spins do not continue to precess forever
• Longitudinal magnetization returns to equilibrium due to spin-lattice interactions – T1 decay
• Transverse magnetization is reduced due to both spin-lattice energy loss and local, random, spin dephasing – T2 decay
• Additional dephasing is introduced by magnetic field inhomogeneities within a voxel – T2' decay. This can be reversible, unlike T2 decay
![Page 35: Mansfield and Lauterbur nobel prize 1978 first images](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/568149ae550346895db6eceb/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
