A member asked:

Routine ultrasound of abdomen showed a dark spot with size 1.2cm.my ct scan without contrast is non-conclusive, should i have a ct with contrast?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Too many factors involved to comment. Ask the doctor who ordered the studies, or a specialist in the field of whatever organ the dark spot is on. Hope this helps!
