Detecting a brain tumour

Can a ct scan detect a brain tumour

[Bananas5]

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 know so tempting though.

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

Heard of one chap who was googling while the doctor was speaking to him. How rude
