A member asked:
Can a ct scan without contrast detect a abdominal mass or is a ultra sound better if you can not do iv or oral contrast with the ct scan?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
CT remains superior at detecting structural detail with limitations created by lack of contrast. That is at the expense of more radiation when compared with ultrasound.
