Common Questions and Answers about Mri scan brain cancer

They transported her to hospital and ran some tests. and found nothing. 3 days later they did an MRI and found a 3 cm brain tumor which they removed a day later. Turned out it is gioblastomia. Right side near temple. She has been doing radiation and Chemo. She has 2 more days of radiation left. But will continue the Chemo pill. They will do another scan in 1 month. She says she feels fine, and absolutely refuses to believe she will die. How long do you think she has?
For a PET scan, they give you a tracer of some sort to make a tumor show up. I do not think the benign tumors take up the tracer like the malignant ones, hence why the PET scan works (or so how I think it works).
The doctor will have to tell you if the lesion in her brain is related or not - but it may or may not be cancer. I hope not.
Can you please explain my MRI of the brain done with and without contrast please: On T2 weighted and FLAIR sequences, there are multiple subcentimeter round ovoid foci of high signal in the right frontal lobe periventricular white matter, in addition to several subcentimeter lesions in the periventricular and subcortical white matter in the left frontal lobe and the subcortical white matter in the posterior right frontal lobe.
I have been diagnosed with a parafalcine meningioma after a MRI of the brain . I haven't seen the neurologist again yet - is this an abnormal meningioma rather than a benign one ?
A month later she was in coma, because of increasing in brain pressure. After high dosage of steroid, she was ok. MRI result showed that there was no changes in tumor sizes. 2 weeks ago she was experiencing the same symptoms as before (stroke symptoms). MRI result showed that there are 2 other lesions less that 1 cm and the increasing mass of the tumors. The oncologist and the neurosurgeon said that there is no more that they can do, they can't do another radiation.
Did a cardio cath and found nothing. Primary sent me to a Neurology Dr who read CT scan wanted to do a MRI. MRI showed 1 cm meningioma in the left frontal lobe without significant mass effect or associated edema. Ventricular size remains normal linits. Also scattered T2 hyperintensities within the periventricular deep white matter of both hemispheres. this is a nonspecific finding,can be seen as sequelea of chronic miscrovascular insult, hypertension,diabetes.
sorry for the late update, basically the past few months have been a one sided story, with some big shocks and lots of confusion,
a abdominal mri showed a mass near the colon after a biopsy it was confirm to be a recurrence of the ovarian cancer, without a biopsy of the brain the doctors have said the brain is also cancer related, mum is now on 6 rounds of doxil and one other drug which i cant remember.
From what I understand the tumor was 13 inches. They did chemo and radiation and radiation on the brain. A scan was performed in May and there was no lesions on the brain. Now this past weekend they found three (10mm, 1.7 cm and 1.4 cm). We thought he had a small stroke and rushed him to the hospital only to find tumors instead. There is also water on the brain and swelling. I know it is not operable and we know the chemo and radiation was only to prolong his life and relieve symptoms.
I had a brain mri scan for recurrent 'auras' thought to be due to migraine. The result of the scan came back normal except for a few spots of plaques. I am 50, is this normal? I am concerned that it is indicative of early degeneration associated with dementia.
Any unusual pain such as what you are experiencing should be worked up with a bone scan and a head scan (either MRI or head CT scan although MRI gives more information.) Should those tests be normal, there are other reasons that you can have pain:
Women who have gone through surgical menopause and chemotherapy are at higher risk for fracture (osteoporosis related). Additionally, women will commonly experience severe bone pain and joint pain after chemotherapy.
To rule out brain cancer, imaging studies such as MRI or CT scan is usually indicated. The common symptoms for brain cancer include : headache, weakness, clumsiness, difficulty walking and even seizures. If there is no history of trauma in the past, the headache could also be due to primary headaches such as migraine, tension or cluster headaches. It is best that you discuss this with your doctor or be referred to a neurologist for proper evaluation.
full blood count and cpr i think there was another one too but cant remember,its not the fatique thats the worst part is the feeling in my head as its so strong when it happens and it happens about 5 hours a day it really feels awfull and when i read about brain tumours it says people have said they had a weird feeling thats hard to describe to the dr when they had a brain tumour,the dr i got at the moment i really doubt will give me a ct scan or mri scan as he only offerd me a blood test when i
Hi, last year I had an MRI scan. I was having it as the Dr was looking to see if I had an AVM on the brain, I get a lot of headaches and have an AVM on my right forearm. When I went to see the Dr he told me my results, he said there is a malformation there but it isnt an AVM. He then pointed to the temporal lobes and said they are low. I should of asked him what that meant, but I never ask questions when Im there, I just say to myself I should of asked this and I should of asked that.
The PET scan would show enhancement in any area that it covered and the spinal area was included in your Mother's scan. All these tests, MRI, PET, CT, Bone Scan see things in a different way. They are all valuable and at times are combined to get the optimum result. I can't see that the shaking would be related; especially if the Brain films were negative. This could be some entirely unrelated problem.
he had a pet scan and the brain was clear but the cancer was in his lymphnodes just a little bit so he then went through radiation for 6 weeks then 2 months later developed staph infection that took over his forehead bone and the drs went in and removed the entire bone. then about 3 months later the cancer was back so he then did chemo 1 day every 3 weeks for 6 treatments.
My seventy year old father complained of headaches and some weakness. Bringing him to the emergency room seemed precautionary, but his ct scan revealed a 'mass.' He is now having mri, and a complete battery of tests. I am so devastated because the first (ct scan) result seems like obvious brain tumor. Can you give me not false hope, but some reason for optimism? Is it possible the 'mass' could represent something else?
