Aside of this processes doctors can also use devices to diagnose Astrocytoma such as the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a test that takes pictures of organs and structures inside the body using magnetic field and radio waves or the position emission tomography (PET), a special camera and tracer that takes pictures of organs (Starkweather 2011). The next step would be a biopsy, which uses tissue or fluid from the brain or spinal cord, which must be conducted to confirm the diagnosis and it is also used to determine the type of tumor and to indentify whether cancer cells are
