Very unlikely: Ct is very good at detecting aneurysms and is typically considered the "gold standard".

Not likely: Ct is highly accurate. Ct looks at specific areas, so hypothetically a ct of chest would miss something in the head or abdomen- but that's why the doctor orders specific area testing.
