A member asked:
I've spotted since oct '14 i have strip of uterus filled with tiny fibroids showing on ultrasounds, but ct scan says there is no calcification. ?

Ultrasound: is more sensitive at detecting small noncalcified fibroids than CT, and it is very common to see small fibroids on ultrasound, which are not visible on CT. When fibroids calcify they are easy to see on CT. But many fibroids, particularly small ones, have no calcification.
