Brain tumour. Coloured orthogonal views (axial left, coronal middle, sagittal right) of a male head, made from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. The scans reveal a large glioma tumour (yellow-orange), a central nervous system tumour that arises from glial cells. About half of all primary brain tumours are gliomas. MRI uses radio waves and a magnet to obtain \slice\" body images."
