The diagnostic evaluation of<unk>  includes high-definition brain imaging. Brain MRI with and without contrast is the gold standard. Computed tomography (CT) scan is optional and may show some calcifications that can be seen in these tumors. However CT is not specific enough as a stand alone diagnostic test. Vascular imaging<unk> es such as MR angiography (MRA) or CTA is decided on a case-by-case basis typically for surgical planning or if a possible vascular malformation is suspected.
