A brain tumor is an abnormal growth of cells that forms within the brain or near it. These growths can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Common symptoms often include persistent headaches, nausea, vomiting, seizures, and changes in vision, balance, or personality. MRI is the key diagnostic tool for detecting brain tumors. It uses a powerful magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of the brain, allowing medical professionals to identify the tumor’s location, size, and characteristics more clearly than other imaging tests.
