A member asked:
Can a ct scan detect ovarian cancer or is an mri better in detecting ovarian cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neither of these imaging modalities can diagnose cancer. If an abnormal image is noted, it would require removal of the lesion and examination of the tissue by a pathologist for a diagnosis of cancer.
