I'm trying to figure out the differences between a CT chest scan and an MRI chest scan. What are they each used for, and which one is supposed to be more accurate? I'm a bit anxious about the whole thing and would love some clarity on what each one might be best suited for.

CT for soft tissues , MRI is more for nerve related conditions
