Yes, MRI’s and CT scans are a type of x-ray. CT scans are a type of advanced x-ray devices used for diagnosing internal organ injuries. X-rays are 2D while CT’s are 3D. MRI is a type of x-ray that doesn’t use radiation and is better for evaluating soft tissues such as tendons, ligaments, brain tumors, or spinal cord injuries.
