Summary Introduction
Introduction:
There are various techniques, by which the image of the tumor can be formed while diagnosing it and to see how advanced it has become. The traditional technique is an X-ray. It is the most commonly used technique to image the tumor. Now a day, CAT (computed tomography) scan is the newest form of taking multiple images at one time. Other techniques are MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scans, PET (positron emission tomography) scan, and ultrasound
