MRI or CT ?

MRI or CT ?

I had surgery on C5 & C6 there are plates and screws in my neck , What happens when I have to go get my annual MRI done or will a CT show enough for the Doctor to see if my brain has gotten worse with lesions?

Just from experience and many other postings on this site I think MRI is the most detailed for the brain, but maybe someone has other ideas.
