Hi. Is a CT scan the same as an MRI? I will definitely call the surgeon's office for an earlier appointment. He is so ridiculously busy that he personally doesn't see the return patients he has an associate do that. However, I will call tomorrow. Thanks.

CT scan uses xrays, & MRI uses magnetic resonance imaging. CT scans are generally best for visualizing bone, MRI for soft tissue, (ligaments, tendons, etc.)
