A member asked:
Would ct pick up pancreatic cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: There are different types of imaging that may demonstrate a mass, or the effects of a mass or stricture in the ducts of the pancreas. Ct may show a mass, but often a biopsy, which is interpreted by a pathologist, is necessary to confirm a diagnosis of cancer.
