Yes, lesions can be seen on both CT scans and MRI scans. Here are the details:

- CT Scan: Uses radiation to take images of brain tissue and can be used to diagnose brain lesions. A solution may be injected to highlight brain structures.
- MRI Scan: Uses magnetic fields and computer technology to produce detailed images of the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. MRI scans can show the location, extent, and number of lesions, and differentiate between current inflammation, newer lesions, and older damage.
