A member asked:
Would a ct scan show fluid on lungs or a heart problem? like disease or failure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: A cat scan will show this. But a cxr will show fluid on the lungs with less radiation, and an echo will give detailed information about heart and valve function with no radiation.
