Overview
- Cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): An MRI uses magnetic fields but it is a different type of image than what is produced by computed tomography (CT). It can produce very detailed images of the brain to help diagnose craniopharyngioma. Like computed tomography (CT), a contrast agent may be injected into a patient’s vein to create a better picture.
- Cranial computed tomography (CT) scan: CT scans are also used to diagnose craniopharyngioma. It can confirm the location of the tumor and show the organs nearby.
- Endocrine hormone tests
