It's not really a personal preference kind of thing, although older MRI machines, because of their cave-like shape, are tough on claustrophobes. Xray machines are an order of magnitude less expensive (at least) and require a lot less maintenance, so usually, if you're to receive an MRI, they'll at least look to see if an xray reveals the problem. Xrays reveal details of bony processes and other dense materials really well, but don't do nearly as well with soft tissues. MRI's can give very detailed views of soft tissues, which can every be applied to 3d and 4d imagery. On the other hand -- as I said -- MRI machines are pricey. Also, in trauma's MRI's require electromagnetic isolation, which means a special room for them. Also, metals, particularly ferric metals, need to be kept away from the machine. This makes MRI usage difficlut in acute traumas.

Why don't MRI scans work for everyone?

Can people with pacemakers have an MRI and a Cat Scan?
People with pacemakers can have any CT scan. The answer for MRI is changing now. Older pacemakers were not MRI compatible. There are new pacemakers being installed that are MRI compatible (up to a certain size MRI strength). When you had your pacemaker installed, you should have received a card telling the technologist about your pacemaker and if it is safe to enter the MRI that will be used. If you did not get the card or have lost that card contact the office of the doctor that put your pacemaker in and ask them and also request another card.
