A member asked:
Ultrasound of abdomen showed 1.2cm dark spot in the right lobe of liver. ct scan done without contrast, inconclusive. do i need a ct with contrast?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: what kind of "dark spot" it is. If it is a benign cyst, nothing more may need to be done. If it is indeterminate, you may need a contrast enhanced ct or mri for further evaluation.
