Diagnostic accuracy of MRI in detecting early brain tumors: A comparative study with CT scan

The early detection of brain tumors remains challenging, particularly due to the subtle nature of symptoms and the limitations of conventional imaging techniques. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in detecting early brain tumors compared to Computed Tomography (CT) scans. Hence, a sample of 150 patients with suspected brain tumors underwent both MRI and CT scans. MRI demonstrated superior sensitivity and specificity in detecting early-stage tumors, particularly in identifying smaller lesions and those located in complex brain regions. MRI demonstrates superior sensitivity and specificity over CT scans in detecting early-stage brain tumors, particularly smaller lesions and those in complex brain regions, enhancing clinical diagnosis and treatment planning.
