MRI more sensitive.: The results of a brain MRI are more conclusive than the results of a CT scan, so if the MRI reading was correct, then you would have little to worry about. However, if you happen to have copies of the studies on a CD, you can request a secondary review by initiating a private consult here on HealthTap.

I feel unsteady/unbalanced and get dull headaches often. I had a CT scan taken and it came back normal. Should i get an MRI as well or is it a waste?
Had Ct scan cause of headaches. Radiologist reviewed said all good no worries. A MRI as follow up has been requested by dr still said nothing to worry this follow up was normal routine. If mass or tumor would something have showed in CT. So worried?
