A member asked:

Does a chest ct show the axillary lymph nodes ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, it usually does: Unless the chest size is very big, the ct scan shows the axillary area quite well. So the lymph nodes, if enlarged will show up on a chest ct scan.

Dr Hoepfner and another doctor agreed
