Answer» The correct choice is (d) MRI images soft tissues so it does not image the CRANIUM properly. Thus, the cranial ring is more PROMINENT in CT than in MRI Easiest explanation: The cranium is MADE of flat bones with spongy bones in between was shock absorbers. They are flat and thin and thus do not have bone marrow. Thus, the HYDROGEN content in these bones is less than those in long bones. Also, MRI mostly targets Hydrogen in water to GET magnetized while the hydrogen in bones is arranged on another structure which restricts its mobility as well. Thus, bones normally don’t show up in an MRI but the bones with bone marrow can be imaged.
