Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
Yes there is a difference.
CECT stands for contrast enhanced CT scan.
MRI stands for magnetic resonance imaging.
Two completely different tests.
Therefore obviously certain things are better in CT and certain better in MRI.
Do as your doctor says.
Is he suggests CT then get that itself done.
He must have thought something.
Best regards.
