Abstract
This study presents a comparative analysis of radiation dosage levels obtained through the utilisation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) techniques. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans do not utilise ionising radiation as they instead rely on magnetic fields and radio waves, in contrast to computed tomography (CT) scans that employ ionising radiation. The apprehensions over the potential hazards associated with radiation exposure during CT scans have raised challenges pertaining to patient care and professional well-being. The objective of this study is to conduct a comparative analysis and assessment of radiation dose levels associated with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations. Additionally, it seeks to investigate potential health hazards associated with radiation exposure from CT scans, analyse the factors that influence radiation dose in CT and MRI procedures, and evaluate the merits and drawbacks of MRI radiation dose.The objective of this inquiry is to comprehend the disparities in radiation exposure between CT and MRI. The study's findings will aid clinicians and patients in selecting imaging techniques by considering their benefits and potential risks in a more informed and efficient manner.
