Also, if you have a port, they can use your port for your contrast injection for an MRI whereas they cannot use the port for a CT scan. A CT contrast injection must be put into a vein. I was quite relieved to find this out recently, b/c my veins are so bad and I really dread the injections. My rad/onc decided that we would use MRI's to keep an eye on my brain from now on.
