A member asked:
Mri or ct?which method is more safe for evaluating pulling pain in lower abdomen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
MRI prob better: Mri is better for defining abnormalities in soft tissues, and uses on ionizing radiation, so it is safer. Of course, you want the test that will provide you and your doctor the answer to your problem, if possible.
