Brain Imaging tests such as MRI and CT scans may show an abnormal area that is likely to be a brain tumour...... but often these scans can't tell exactly what type of tumoor it is.

Thanks. Had a CT scan and said everything was ok but went on google ( it mistake) and they said MRI was better. I thought they would do a CT scan and if anything was untoward would do a MRI follow up

I have known GPs refuse to treat patients if they go to the surgery quoting Dr google.
