Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan MRI scans are very good for looking at the brain and spinal cord and are considered the best way to look for tumors in these areas. The images they provide are usually more detailed than those from CT scans (described below).

Detailed explanation-2: -Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This dye can be injected into a patient’s vein or given as a pill or liquid to swallow. MRIs create more detailed pictures than CT scans (see below) and are the preferred way to diagnose a brain tumor.

Detailed explanation-3: -A simple practical method for localizing lesions in the brain is the use of four axons, the axon of the sensomotor pathaways, the axon of the optic pathway, the axon of the cranial nerves and the axon of ventricular system (Figure 5-1, axon 1-5).

Detailed explanation-4: -Continuing lesion formation in MS often leads to physical disability and, sometimes, to cognitive decline. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain is useful in the diagnosis and treatment of multiple sclerosis.
