A member asked:
Ent for neck lump.negitive ct, and thyroid scan. cancer, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Characterize lump: If lump is superficial in location ultrasound is more beneficial in characterizing type of tissue, and may need eventual biopsy. Mr examination for both superficial and deeper soft tissue characterization is usually better than ct examination. Again with all imaging modalities, the final diagnosis depends on biopsy and pathology.
