A member asked:

Can mri detect tumors(benign/malignant)? the mri only shws a lesion but do not knw if its benign. is it necessary to do a pet scan to find out more?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: The MRI is an effective way of defining a tumor. The histologic diagnosis is suspected mostly by presence and possible involvement of adjacent tissue. When there is a question of trying to define the presence of a primary in the face of metastastic disease, the PET/CAT most often defines the presence of a Ca.
