A member asked:
Ct showed heterogeneous density thyroid, ultrasound showed nothing , waiting on bloods how can that be ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
For their eyes only.: The heterogeneity of the mass may be such that it "confused" the ultrasound beams and they showed a bunch of shadows that were hard to interpret, while the CT may have shown more definition, being based on x-rays and a computer to compile the data.Of course, it's also all in the eye of the beholder and it sometimes seems like "magic" how some ultrasounds are interpreted (some CTs too, by the way!)
