MRI and CT Scan are both imaging methods for diagnosis, however MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves while CT Scan uses X-rays.

Both methods are painless and non-invasive

* Preparation before taking an MRI Scan
1. Inform your doctor if you have any metal implants or medical equipment, such as a pacemaker or cochlear implant. The MRI's magnetic field may impact certain gadgets.

2. Avoid bringing metal items: Watches, jewelry, and clothes with metal zippers will all be affected by the MRI's powerful magnetic field.

3. Change your clothes: Change into a medical gown and remove your belt and any metal accessories.

4. Stay relaxed and comfortable: The MRI machine makes loud noises, but you'll be given noise-cancelling headphones and music to listen to during the scan.

5. If a contrast agent injection is necessary, do not overeat or use stimulants before to the scan. Make sure you follow your doctor's directions.

**  Preparation before taking an MRI Scan

1. History of allergies: If you have a history of allergies, please contact your doctor. This chemical may be used to improve picture clarity during CT scans.

2. Fasting: In certain cases, you may need to fast for 2-4 hours prior to the scan, particularly if contrast dye is required.

3. Drink water: After contrast-enhanced CT scans, you may be encouraged to drink plenty of water to help flush out the contrast dye from your body.

4. Change clothes and remove any metal items: You will be required to change into a clinic gown same as taking MRI scan. In some situations, metal items may need to be removed to avoid artifacts during the scanning process.

MRI scans are generally considered safe during pregnancy. There is no evidence to suggest that MRI has harmful effects on pregnancy. However, MRI is typically recommended when necessary, and it is preferred to be performed after the 4th month of pregnancy.

Important: Women who are nursing and need to get contrast dye should stop breastfeeding for at least two days to allow the contrast dye to be entirely removed from the body.
