A member asked:
Whats better? ct abdomen with contrast (oral&iv) or mri abdomen? which gives a better look?

What ru looking for?: That is the real question--mri usually has better resolution and clearer images--is great for soft tissues. Ct quicker and more convenient to obtain and shows most everything could need.

CT: For most things, a ct of the abdomen and pelvis with oral and IV contrast is better.
