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

Anonymous Answer

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.
