MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and CAT (computed axial tomography) scans are two forms of technology used in hospitals for
diagnostic purposes. These technologies allow various body parts to be examined in greater detail than other tests, such as X-rays.
For example, imagine that you want to examine a book. An X-ray would allow you to see the covers of the book, and you could
recognize that there are many pages between the covers. However, an MRI or a CAT-scan would allow you to see the covers and
each individual page of the book.
Thus, MRI and CAT scans would most likely to be used to diagnose
A
nutritional problems.
B.
rashes and other skin discolorations.
c.
a fracture in a leg bone.
D.
a small blood clot in the brain.
