A member asked:
Which is more accurate for a brain bleed? mri or ct?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Although either an MRI or CAT scan should readily reveal any significant bleeding, the MRI has far better resolution for soft tissues, and might more readily reveal very small areas of hemorrhage surrounding smaller blood vessels (e,g., embolic events in bacterial endocarditis)
