Can a dr tell looking at an x-ray if someone has lung cancet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Its a start: An abnormality on a plane chest x-ray can suggest a mass but not diagnose what it is. A ct scan or MRI can assist with further diagnosis but the gold standard is to get a biopsy of the tissue, usually with a fine needle and await a pathology report.
