Can a ct scan detect ovarian cancer?

Can help: Ct scans detect abnormalities in tissues but do not detect cancer per se. A ct scan may detect a mass in the ovary, on an enlarged ovary that may suggest cancer. Definitive diagnosis of cancer requires removal of the mass or taking a biopsy of the mass and examination by a pathologist.

Need tissue: It can detect a mass but the definitive diagnosis is done by looking at the tissue either taken by biopsy or surgery.
