Answer 1

Answer:

One big advantage to an MRI scan is that there is no exposure to radiation as in the case with X-rays, CT scans, and PET scans. ... MRI also has the advantage over X-ray because it can identify swelling and inflammation. It can show both three-dimensional and cross-sectional images of the body.
