A member asked:
Can an abdominal ultrasound detect a big abdominal mass?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes. An abdominal US usually is usually quite effective in showing a large mass. If a mass is present, you may need additional imaging such as CT or MRI for further characterization of any such mass.

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.
