CT

• Computed tomography (CT) scan and biopsy: CT scans are often used to diagnose gliomatosis cerebri. It can confirm the location of the cancer and show the site where the cancer might have spread. These are helpful in staging the cancer and in determining whether surgery is a good treatment option. And CT scans can also be used to guide biopsy and a biopsy sample is then removed and looked at under a microscope.
