Can A Cancerous Tumor Be Detected Through MRI?

I was recently diagnosed with an orbital cavernous hemangioma, which is what led me to this site. This hemangioma was discovered buy an MRI. I am told that these tumors are typically benign, but I have my concerns because others have told me that is hard to distinguish the difference between a benign hemangioma and a cancerous tumor. How do I know if this is a benign tumor or a cancerous tumor? In other words how would they find out if it is for sure a benign hemangioma or cancer?

Nevermind... I clicked on proceed and it took me to a page where they want money to answer a simple question. How ridiculous! I have no proof that the question I asked is even being read by an actual doctor. I suppose there are a lot of dumbass people willing to pay money to some person that's probably Googling info himself. I can wait to ask a real doctor.
