How Does Ultrasound Differ from MRI and CT?

- Ultrasound:
- Non-invasive, widely available, and cost-effective.
- Real-time imaging, making it useful for guiding procedures like biopsies.
- No radiation exposure, safe for pregnant women.
- MRI:
- Provides high-resolution images, particularly useful for soft tissue contrast.
- No radiation exposure, but more expensive and less accessible than ultrasound.
- Time-consuming and may require the use of contrast agents.
- CT:
- Faster and more detailed imaging of the entire abdomen and pelvis.
- Involves radiation exposure, making it less desirable for routine gynecological use.
- Often used in emergency settings or for cancer staging.
