Comparison between Cav-CT and Cav-MRI: advantage and limits.

Comparison between Cavernous CT and Cavernous MRI: Advantage and Limits
Cavernous MRI
Indications:
Young patients
Good compliance with MRI
Suitable for magnetic field
Advantage Good spacial resolution
High contrast resolution
Low volumes of contrast agent and reduced injection rate
No ionizing radiations
Limits Magnetic fields (no conditional)
Claustrophobia
Quite long examination times
Cavernous CT
Indications:
Old patients
Claustrophobic
Weak compliance with MRI
Not suitable for magnetic field
Advantage Elevated spacial resolution
Good resolution in contrast
Fast acquisition times
Post-processing
Limits Ionizing radiations
Bigger volumes of contrast agent to high injection rate
