MRI is currently an option for diagnosing brain cancer

In daily life, brain cancer patients should go for regular physical examinations to check whether they have brain cancer. What are the specific methods for diagnosing brain cancer? Next, we let the experts give us a detailed introduction to the common methods for diagnosing brain cancer.

Among so many methods for diagnosing brain cancer , the best methods for diagnosing brain cancer are:

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the diagnosis of brain cancer:

It can show most of the intracranial tumors and peritumoral edema, and can accurately show the location, size and shape of the tumor. It is an important additional examination method for CT, especially for tumors of the skull base and brain stem close to the bones, such as benign astrocytoma on the tentorium, which can show autologous abnormalities, making up for the missed diagnosis of CT without abnormal findings. Therefore, MRI is more suitable for the diagnosis of early brain cancer.

Brain CT scan:

The detection rate of brain tumors can reach over 90%. The size, shape, number, location, density and nature of the lesions can be easily displayed, and the anatomical relationship is clear. It is currently the main method for diagnosing brain cancer.

Biochemical test:

For patients with pituitary adenomas, especially brain cancer patients with excessive secretion of anterior pituitary hormones, blood biochemical tests can be used to confirm the diagnosis. Prolactin, growth hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone, thyroid stimulating hormone, gonadotropin, etc. can be tested separately to clarify the nature of pituitary disease. Among them, prolactinoma is the most common method for diagnosing brain cancer.

Through the simple introduction to the diagnosis of brain cancer above, everyone must have a certain understanding of the diagnosis of brain cancer. It is for your reference only.
