Imaging methods are an integral part of acute medicine. In emergent brain imaging, CT is most often used for its benefits. With the increasing availability of MRI devices, MRI is the preferred alternative to CT in the indicated cases. The choice of imaging method must be chosen in collaboration with the clinic and radiologist with respect to the expected benefit and clinical status of the patient. The papere describes some indications and facts where it is preferable in favor of MRI over CT.

Keywords: urgent imaging, magnetic resonance, brain
