A member asked:
Can a mass in the right colon be seen on a ct scan?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Colon is a gold stan: Pre-operative CT scanning is not routine in patients with colon tumors. While adding this test would add to the cost of care, error prevention results in cost savings and reduces the risk of litigation.The average tumor size localized by CT scan was approximately 1.4 cm larger than that properly localized by Colonoscopy. Preoperative CT scanning is a beneficial complement to colonoscopy.
