A. An MRI is different from an x-ray because it shows multiple views and dimensions of the image taken. A CT scan is an x-ray procedure that is enhanced by a computer delivering a 3 dimensional view. The MRI does not use and x-ray tubes or radiation, instead produces images inside a strong magnetic field.
