A member asked:
Why doesnt a mri show deflux material from a prior vur and a ct urogram does? i thought mri's are more in depth?

Different tests: An MRI uses an atom's response to a strong magnetic field. A CT uses X-rays. The X-rays won't pass through the contrary, so it creates a shadow. No such effect occurs because of the magnetic field.
