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.
Yes. It is safe in a CT. Ask about the policy if getting an MRI.
A CT scan or an MRI
Yes. Staples make the CT scan image look different and make it harder to see small changes around that area, but they are perfectly OK to go in a CT scanner machine. Most imaging areas have certain rules about putting patients in an MRI machine with staples. If getting an MRI check with them on their policies.
Both and neither. They each have areas of the body they are better at. Many DR's think the MRI is better because they think it is newer, but both machines have been around since the late 60's.
A CT scan is about $300 to $6750, while a MRI scan is $400 to $12,000.

I had a low density undetermed spot by my lower right ear shown on a ct scan of the sinus. What are they looking for to do a MRI of the head.
The classic answer is acute sub-arachnoid hemorrhage.
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.
myelogram, but being replaced by CT scan and MRI's
CT/CAT scan, electroencephalogram (EEG), MRI and PET scan
A CT Scan can image an aneurysm without a contrast injection even though it does better with a contrast agent. An MRI will require an contrast agent or an MRI/MRA.
laser , ultrasound , MRI , CT scan , aniogram and etc. -Judy :)
i would have to say about 80,000 dollars
