A member asked:
Can you tell me if ct scans usually pick up tumors?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes they do: Ct scans are one of the best means of detecting abnormal growths such as tumors in the human body. But only a specialist can guide you as to what kind of ct scan is required for proper imaging. In some body sites MRI scans are more useful than a ct scan.
