What is the difference between MRI and CT?

Like CT, MRI can be used to image almost any part of the body, although MRI produces pictures containing information that may not be seen on a CT scan. For some things, MRI is more useful than CT, and for some things CT is more useful. Sometimes, both are necessary, since the information gained from one may complement or clarify information gained from the other. MRI is often used for the following: 1 Brain and nervous system: MRI is the most accurate tool for evaluating most diseases of the brain and spinal cord, including strokes, tumors, and multiple sclerosis. 2 Musculoskeletal system: MRI is the most accurate way to non-invasively image most joints (knees, shoulders, wrists, etc) for problems involving cartilage, ligaments, tendons and muscles. 3 Other: MRI can also be useful for evaluating the neck, liver, kidneys, pelvic organs, blood vessels, and lymph nodes.

What is a patient day?

"Patient Days" refers to all patients, not just inpatients: The new edition of the NSI Manual clarifies some confusion that may have been caused by the titles of the two falls measures (NSPC-2 and NSPC-3) and the two nursing-care-hours-per-patient-day measures (NSSC-5 and NSSC-6) as they appeared in earlier editions of the NSI Microspecifications Manual and the Excel-based NSI Data Transmittal Workbook. Although the instructions appearing in the manual and on the form make clear that you should count the number of patient days for all patients, including outpatients or other short stay patients, the measure titles mistakenly referred to “Inpatient Days”. Short stay days are the equivalent of taking the number of short stay hours and dividing by 24. The American Nurses Association (ANA), the measure steward for all four measures, offers several options for counting short stay days.
