Well, you better be willing to wait a couple days for a non-emergent MRI. Because MRIs take longer, they are a more scarce resource. If you are in the hospital and need a scan, presumably its because the doctors are trying to diagnose something somewhat urgently. If not, they should discharge you and let you get the scan scheduled as an outpatient. So, CT it is for almost all common conditions in the hospital as first line. (even stroke usually gets CT head first to rule out a bleed, where the sensitivity is still pretty good) |
