A member asked:
If i have ct scan and it was normal, do i need an ultrasound too?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
OF WHAT? FOR WHAT?: Answer depends on what is being examined and what is being looked for. A normal ct of the chest would likely not provide information about the heart that an ultrasound could. A ct might miss some masses in the liver that an ultrasound could show and vice versa.
