Dr. Paul Velt answered

Specializes in Diagnostic Radiology

Ultrasound or CT: Post operative findings may be related to scar or hematoma. Infection and abscess are also considerations. These can be seen with ultrasound but CT can give a better picture of what the doctor feels. It is also a function of the type of surgery performed. Talk to your doctor to help choose
