A member asked:
Can you please tell me, should a cat scan show a blood clot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually: What part of the body are you looking at? Ct will typically show clots in the brain and most other parts of the body. If you are asking about clots causing a blockage of an artery or vein then that would almost certainly require intravenous contrast to be used. More detail regarding what you are asking about is required.
