How long does it take for a contrast head ct to detect cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
When test is over : As soon as lest (ct) is over will know any lesion is present or absent in 3 mts. If any lesion present then then will need a series of specialist consultations to find what it is, may even need biopsy.
