Deciding which cross-sectional imaging modality to pursue first is not always as simplistic as 'CT is best for bone and MR is designed to image soft tissues.' We often need information regarding soft tissue and bone to formulate our clinical plans. Here are a few clinical presentation examples to help guide your decision.
Intracranial disease - In nearly all cases, MR imaging will provide the greatest clinical information. In patients with seizures, cranial nerve deficits, behavior or personality disorders, states of altered consciousness, head tilt, circling, visual deficits related to innervations of the eye, and head and limb ataxia, MR is the preferred imaging modality.
