MRI uses a magnetic field to realign polar (i.e. water molecules) back and forth. That reorientation creates an image. It's why MRI is good for assessing soft-tissue injury, like a ligament tear. Conversely, bone does not image well on MRI due to lack of water molecules.

MRI has better spatial resolution than CT. Both have their benefits.
Can you tell us what are the different types of CT scans?
