A member asked:
Would a chest ct scan be able to detect swollen lymph nodes in the clavicle. ?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: There are no lymph nodes in the clavicle but there are near the clavicle. A ct scan should help.

CT scan: Possibly. If the ct covered the entire thorax and the nodes were of sufficient size they might be visible.
