    Pros and Cons of MRI Scan and X-Ray - Yr.8

    Uploaded by

    Daniel
    MRI scans and X-rays both have pros and cons for examining the internal structures of the body. MRI scans produce highly detailed images and allow doctors to see structures not visible via X-ray, but the equipment is very expensive and patients must remain still in a confined space during scanning. X-rays are less detailed but are safer, less expensive, and do not restrict patient movement.
