How Brain Tumor is Diagnosed?
Brain tumors are diagnosed through a combination of clinical evaluation, imaging tests, and sometimes biopsy. Here's how the process typically works:
Neurological Examination: Doctor checks your vision, hearing, balance, coordination, strength, and reflexes to detect abnormalities that might suggest brain involvement.
Imaging Tests:
- MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging): The most commonly used scan to detect brain tumors. It provides detailed images of brain tissues.
- CT Scan (Computed Tomography): May be used if MRI is not possible or to quickly detect bleeding, swelling, or tumors.
- Functional MRI, PET scan, or MR spectroscopy: Might be used for deeper analysis or surgical planning.
Biopsy:
- Surgically, by removing part or all of the tumor.
- Stereotactic needle biopsy, which is less invasive and uses imaging to guide a needle to the tumor.
Early diagnosis is crucial, so if someone experiences symptoms like persistent headaches, vision changes, seizures, or unexplained cognitive issues, medical evaluation should be sought promptly.
