Can a ct scan diagnose endometrial cancer?
9 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
CT is: generally not used for diagnosis or staging of endometrial cancer, however endometrial can be detected on a contrast enhanced scan. Ultrasound is more useful for initial imaging, and if additional imaging is necessary, MRI is superior to CT.

Endometrial cancer : A CT scan would not be a reliable test for endometrial cancer. The sampling of the endometrial lining will be much more accurate.

Can docs diagnose cancer in a parotid gland from a single cat scan with contrast? Or would biopsy and/or additional tests/scans be needed to confirm? Next appointment is with oncologist (before seeing ENT) after finding growth on cat scan. Do I worry?
