do lymph nodes show on a cat scan
Probably not since cancer filled lymph nodes are painless. Your doctor is doing a CT scan probably to find an infection.
They are just as they say. An abdominal cat scan is just of that area and a pelvic cat scan is just of that area. Usually if an abdominal cat scan is ordered a pelvis is included so as to cover all things in both areas but if a pelvic cat scan is ordered it usually does not include the abdomen.
You do not have to stay home after a CAT scan. The procedure has no residual effects. After you leave the clinic or hospital, you can resume normal activities if you are otherwise healthy.
yes
Without. I had a cat scan this morning for that very reason and no contrast was needed.
If the patient has enlarged lymph nodes or the depth of the tumor has led to the evaluation by CAT scan showing enlarged nodes, resection of the nodes will be considered.

If a lymph node becomes very swollen and painful, the family doctor may decide to drain it.
Cat scratch fever, also known as cat scratch disease, is cause by getting scratched by an infected cat. The burning sensation is caused by the inflammation of lymph nodes.
If the lymph nodes remain swollen and painful from cat-scratch disease, it is important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment. They may recommend additional tests, such as blood work or imaging studies, and might prescribe antibiotics if there is an infection. In severe cases, a referral to a specialist such as an infectious disease specialist may be needed.
When cat-scratch disease is suspected, the doctor will ask about a history of exposure to cats and look for evidence of a cat scratch or bite and swollen lymph nodes.
The symptoms usually disappear within a month, although the lymph nodes may remain swollen for several months.
There is no specific condition that makes cats sensitive under their front legs. The cat may have arthritis in the shoulders or front legs, it could have swollen lymph nodes, or it may have hurt its spine or neck.
