CT is cheaper than MRI, and it's harder to get insurance to pay for the latter. There are some legitimate diagnostic reasons to prefer CT imagery, but I think cost may be a more common deciding factor.

The most common factor is that they see different things. There may be some overlap but you want one or the other depending

But yes cts are cheaper.
