Question

You have broken your left ankle in three places. The repair will require surgery. In order to learn the extent

of the injury and then monitor the healing process after the surgery, images
of the broken ankle are
needed. Which method (MRI, CT scan, or X-rays) is the best to use for this type of injury? Include a
discussion of the pros and
cons of each technology to support your decision.

Answer 1

I believe it would be an X-ray

Step-by-step explanation:

X-rays are the most common used technology for broken bones.

MRI's are way to expensive, and would take longer time to use, then a X-Ray or CT scan. They get better images of sort tissue, which is what their used for.

CT scan's are used more for back pains, or spinal injuries, rather than a simple broken bone.
