A member asked:
I had a pelvic ct scan which showed fibroids. im now having an ultrasound. will the ultrasound show anything the ct scan didnt pick up?

U/S + CT complement: Ultrasound (U/S) can show some detail that CT cannot. For example, the uterine lining is better delineated and fluid in the uterus or early pregnancies are better seen. Small ovarian cysts and tiny amounts of free fluid in the pelvis are also better seen on U/S. In addition with color doppler U/S, blood flow in and around fibroids and other structures is well seen.

My 78 year old relative had a CT of the abdomen and pelvis. A unrelated finding was a report of fibroids on her uterus. This was a suprise as she had a hysterectomy 45 years ago. Pelvic ultrasound confirmed no uterus but identified some type of mass.
