Do I need a referral from my doctor to have an imaging study interpreted by Dr. Labranche?

What's the difference between an MRI and a CT scan?

Both are advanced imaging tests, but they use different technologies. CT (Computed Tomography) scans use X-rays and a computer to create detailed cross-sectional images; they are excellent for bone, lungs, abdomen, and detecting acute bleeding. MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) uses a powerful magnetic field and radio waves to create highly detailed images of soft tissues like the brain, spine, joints, and internal organs, without using ionizing radiation. Dr. Labranche or your referring doctor will determine which test is best for your specific medical question.
