So CT scans are for different layers of bone and MRI's can see everything else. Is that how it works? I don't know why they didn't do it in the first place since it's re-occuring.

Genereally CT scans are used for internal organs, bone, soft tissue and blood vessels. The main thing is does well for bone is to measure bone density. MRI is the best way to see anything muscular.

No wonder the doctor smirked when my wife asked if she should get a CAT scan.
