It's my understanding that MRI can look at soft tissue a little better. But I'm pretty sure contrast CTs can find enlarged lympnodes, Lung things and liver lesions.
I'm getting twice a year MRIs and annual CTs. Just had an MRI last week. Mine get approved due to the amount of radiation I've endured since I was treated with chemo/rad due to my rectal cancer diagnosis.
