A member asked:
What does a small spinal tumor look like on an mri scan? can you tell it's a tumor from looking at scan? thanks

A tumor: is an abnormal mass, and can have a variety of appearances on MRI depending on the type of tumor. Characterizing it as "small" is relative and inexact, particularly when accurate measurements can be obtained from the MRI scan.
