Answers:
They can tell by taking a biopsy and then looking at the tumor cells under a microscope!. I don't know if they can or can't tell by looking at MRI results!.

In any case, I am so sorry that you are having this problem and I pray that you will return to full and complete health!. God bless you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

They will have a good idea from the scans but to know exactly what kind of cancer it is, they would do a biopsy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

They might decide to take a biopsy from your liver (that is a small sample of cells gathered using a needle)!. However, they might be able to tell from the MRI!. It depends on the location and appearance of the tumour!. Some are obviously malignant, some obviously benign, and others harder to tell!.
Good luck, I hope it's all ok!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
