Understanding brain tumors depends greatly on accurate imaging. Both magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) are commonly employed methods, and each has advantages and disadvantages of its own. This review focuses on open-access, PubMed-listed studies that compare brain tumor evaluation by CT and MRI. We review how the studies were done, how images were taken, how accurate the findings were and what the main pros and cons are for each type of imaging. Results demonstrate that CT is useful for rapid evaluations, especially in emergencies, but for diagnosing brain tumors, MRI with its clearer soft tissue images is more accurate. Sometimes, using both at the same time can make the diagnosis more certain. It was found that developing standard imaging procedures and exploring new imaging methods are needed. In the future, studies ought to concentrate on joining various imaging approaches to improve the way brain tumors are evaluated.
