MRI is the gold standard, best test there is, and you pay for it.

CT is an acceptable alternative when you have a pacemaker. Pacemaker and MRI get along like Batman and the Joker.

MRI is the only method to detect the presence of a lipo sarcoma tumor.
Also, MRI’s are OK if you have non-ferro-resonant metals in your body (such as titanium staples).

The technology got ‘set back’ for a while, because they used to call it Nuclear Magnetic Resonance. People freaked at the nucular part.
