A member asked:
Which scan is better to assess the kidneys for any previous scarring- ct urogram or mri with contrast?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Both can show the scarring but CT urogram is probably better in assessing the function of each kidney.

They are equally good if done properly and read by a competent radiologist
