A member asked:
Can mri detect lymphadenopathy in chest or ct is the only option?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: MRI can easily detect differences in soft tissue structure so that lymph nodes are easily identified. CAT scan can show organ structures easily and the amount of radiation with the newer units is minimal.
