A member asked:
Can mesothelioma be detected on a ct scan or what is the best test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Since mesothelioma: is basically soft tissue an MRI is probably the best advanced imaging to use although a CT scan WITH CONTRAST is often used by PULMONOLOGISTS (lung experts) Hope this is helpful! Dr Z
