comparing and contrasting two imaging modalities for radiotherapy treatment planning

Since the mid-1980's, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been replacing CT as the method of choice for many imaging applications. In MRI, the patient is placed in a chamber and exposed to radio waves in the presence of a powerful magnetic field. This treatment causes the nuclei of certain atoms in the brain/body to emit signals as they align and realign within the magnetic field. Different tissues of the body produce different signals, depending on the mixture of elements they contain. MRI scanners translate the signals into three-dimensional images that can delineate specific structures within the brain and body.
