16.01.2022 FAQ: What is the difference between X-rays, CT scan and MRI? Imaging helps your Osteopath to determine if there are any abnormalities within your structure. X-rays are used for more dense matter within the body. Dense matter comes up as white on x-rays. X-rays are generally prescribed to assess any abnormalities in bone structure, including fracture, deformity and degeneration. ... CT scans is a more detailed x-ray. Meaning it gives you a more detailed and cross sectional view of whats going on inside of you. Again the main structures that benefits from a CT scan are bone structures. If you have had a severe trauma to the spine, pelvis, abdomen or brain it will be able to pick up trauma within the small bony structures.
