MRI versus CT Machine of the Quality of Brain Image
Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research - Year 2016, Vol 14, Issue 1
Abstract
The aim of our study was to compare the imaging quality of the two machines in order to find out which of them produces more quality brain images that the other. A qualitative study was employed and data was collected, through observation, from a population that consisted of 80 patients whose age ranged from 2 months to 60 years old and took place at King Fahad Specialist Hospital in Buraidah, Saudi Arabia. These patients were referred in the hospital to undergo brain imaging. The hypothesis guiding the study was that MRI produces quality brain images. The findings of this research underscored the need to use MRI machines during brain imaging. It was concluded that MRI machine was suitable for soft tissues and produces images of higher quality compared to CT machine and it is for this reason that they alternate H1 hypothesis was rejected.
