A member asked:
What is a doctor looking for in a cat scan?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Too broad of questio: The question is not specific enough. A ct scan can look for many things from a simple hernia to a kidney stone to a tumor to acute inflammation or pneumonia.....Recurrent neoplasm and many many more. A ct scan of different body parts looks for different things. Ask your doctor what they are looking for or ask a more specific question.
