A member asked:
Can a full abdominal ultrasound and a double contrast ct scan miss cancer in the liver or any part of the abdomen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: That sounds like a pretty comprehensive battery of tests, so unlikely it will miss a tumor but of course there is always room for both false positive and false negative exams.
