X-RAY

X-rays are a type of radiation called electromagnetic waves. X-ray imaging creates pictures of the inside of your body. ... Calcium in bones absorbs x-rays the most, so bones look white. Fat and other soft tissues absorb less and look gray.

CT-SCAN

A computerized tomography (CT) scan combines a series of X-ray images taken from different angles around your body and uses computer processing to create cross-sectional images (slices) of the bones, blood vessels and soft tissues inside your body. CT scan images provide more-detailed information than plain X-rays do.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses a large magnet and radio waves to look at organs and structures inside your body. Health care professionals use MRI scans to diagnose a variety of conditions, from torn ligaments to tumors. MRIs are very useful for examining the brain and spinal cord.
