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 |
