A member asked:
For cancers like glioma in brain, what can mri's investigate in comparison of ct?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tumor extent: Brain MRIs give much better soft tissue detail compared to CT. It can show the extent (size and spread) of brain tumors better. CT is better for acute bleeding in the brain and also evaluation of the bony skull.
