A member asked:
Will mri with contrast catch even the most hidden tumor, even the smallest ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, of course not: There will always be something too small to be seen by any type of machine. However, when things are too small to be seen, nobody knows what happens to those things over time. As the machines and the scientific research improves over time, we will know more.
