an MRI is just a scan
A bone scan, or x-ray is simply a different type of scan than an MRI. No kind of scan is better than another, it simply depends what the scan is trying to ascertain.
A CT scan is generally better for visualizing bone structures and detecting fractures in the spine, while an MRI provides superior detail of soft tissues, including discs, nerves, and ligaments. For back problems that involve soft tissue issues, such as herniated discs or nerve compression, an MRI is usually preferred. Ultimately, the choice between a CT scan and an MRI depends on the specific condition being evaluated and the clinical context.
A PET scan shows what level / stage (if any) the cancer is at. An MRI scan doesn't do this, the reader, looks for abnormalities on the scan which shows up everything in the body.
No. It is not a treatment it is a scan. An MRI is a Magnetic Resonance Imaging. MRI are used for imaging tissues.
There are several different tests that can be performed to help determine the cause of back pain. Some of the tests are : MRI, CT Scan, Physical Exam, Bone Scan etc.
An MRI can be a way of diagnosing a person with epilepsy, but does not have any effect on epilepsy. It is just used to scan the brain.An MRI can be a way of diagnosing a person with epilepsy, but does not have any effect on epilepsy.

It depends on what the problem with the elbow is. If it is a bone related injury then the CT scan will show more detail but if the problem is with the muscles or ligaments, then the MRI Scan will be more useful.
Mri of the body... Or a cat scan of the head

A CT scan, yes. An MRI scan- maybe. It will depend on information from the manufacturer of the device you have implanted. Most are not affected by an MRI, but that is up to medical staff to determine.
Magnetic resonance imaging.
