What does a lumbar ct scan show that an mri doesn't?
A lumbar CT scan is particularly useful for visualizing bone structures, making it more effective for detecting fractures, bone spurs, and certain types of degenerative changes in the spine. It provides detailed images of the spinal canal and can also reveal calcifications that an MRI might not show as clearly. Additionally, a CT scan is often quicker and may be more accessible in emergency situations. However, MRI is better for visualizing soft tissues, such as muscles, nerves, and intervertebral discs.

Why would a MRI be request after CT Scan?
An MRI may be requested after a CT scan to provide more detailed images of soft tissues, which CT scans are less effective at visualizing. MRI is particularly useful for assessing conditions involving the brain, spinal cord, muscles, and ligaments, where high-resolution images can help in diagnosis. Additionally, if the CT scan reveals something abnormal or inconclusive, an MRI can help clarify the findings and guide further treatment.

i would have to say about 80,000 dollars
