What is brain Tumour Location?

Submitted by: Muhammad

Dyes like fluorescein, rose Bengal are absorbed by cancerous cells, thus in order to locate the brain tumour location the dye labelled with I131 is given to the patient. Then the entire space around the skull is scanned by the help of special counters and the place where ever I131 is accumulated is found and thus it is possible to locate the brain tumour to some extent.
