AB In  an  effort  to  avoid  medicolegal  complications  associated  with  ordering  medical  imaging  examinations  on  a  patient,  a  better  understanding  of  the  advantages  and  especially  the  disadvantages  of  radiography,  computed  tomography  (CT),  and  magnetic  resonance  imaging  (MRI)  is  beneficial.  Having  a  clinical  appreciation  of  these  imaging  modalities  will  assist  the  medical  professional  to  correctly  order  the  right  examination.  Providing  additional  patient  information  that  may  be  helpful  for  the  technologist  performing  the  various  examinations  will  help  improve  the  outcome  of  the  examination  and  smooth  patient  flow  through  the  imaging  department.
