You have damaged the tendons or ligaments of your wrist. the repair will require surgery. in order to learn the extent of the injury and then monitor the healing process after the surgery, images of the damaged wrist are needed. which method (mri, ct scan, or x-rays) is the best to use for this type of injury? include a discussion of the pros and cons of each technology to support your decision.

CT is the correct anser.

Explanation: All of the other types of scans do not look very far into your body and mostly just look at your bones. A CT scan is extremely more precise and can look for your damaged tendons and ligaments.

The answer is: Magnetic Resonance (MRI).

Explanation:

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses a powerful magnetic field, radio waves and a computer to produce detailed images of joints, soft tissues, and bones. It is generally the best way to evaluate the body for lesions, tumors, and degenerative disorders.

The term "computed tomography," or CT, refers to a computerized procedure of x-ray images. These tomographic images contain more detailed information than conventional x-rays.

But as with all X-rays, it is easy to obtain images of dense structures, such as a bone inside the body, while soft tissues vary in their ability to stop X-rays and, therefore, are weak or difficult to visualize.

The answer is: Magnetic Resonance (MRI).
