"MRI's are sometimes preferred over CT scans because of the ability to scan certain soft tissue tumors unlike a CT scan.

As a Radiologic Technician, this concern may be on your patient's mind as well as a topic discussed at work. Tell the interviewer a bit about the pro's and cons when it comes to an MRI or CT scan.

MRI shows soft tissue a lot better than CT and is usually preferred over CT when looking at non-bony structural damage. It also has a lot of lower dosage than CT.
