A member asked:
Nodule seen on xray but not ct. pain in exact spot of nodule upon palpation. lump immobile non tender. swollen lymph nodes? wouldnt it show in ct?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly ultrasound: Lymph node of significant size (5-10 mm) should show on ct particularly with intravenous contrast injection. It sounds like nodule is under skin. Ultrasound by scanning directly over location of nodule is often better at localizing subcutaneous nodules and discerning characterization, such as vascular, cystic, or solid. Us has also been used for guided biopsy.
