Ct scan can reveal a brain tumour and an mri showed nothing. which to believe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Strange: Usually an MRI is more sensitive (better) at detecting rumors than CT. Did the radiologist who read the MRI have access to the CT and its report? It is possible that something that was thought to be a mass on a CT turned out not to be one on MRI.
