What else can I help you with?
Would an abdominal CT scan detect an ulcer?
No, you cannot see an ulcer on a ct scan.
Can ct brain scan detect autism?
No, autism isn't detectable on CT scans.
Can a ct scan without contrast detect brain tumor?
Yes, brain tumours can show up very clearly on CT scans especially if the patient is injected with an X-ray dye.
Do the risks outweigh the benefits for a ct scan?
The devil is in the details. CT scans can and do save lives. CT scans can and do cause cancer. The appropriate use of the CT scan is safe and effective in modern healthcare. The inappropriate use of CT scans is a major public health concern.
Can an abdominal CT scan detect an ulcer?
Yes, an abdominal CT scan can help detect an ulcer, particularly when it is associated with complications such as perforation or bleeding. While the scan may not directly show the ulcer itself, it can reveal signs of inflammation or other changes in the surrounding tissues. For a definitive diagnosis, endoscopy is typically the preferred method.
Would an abdominal CT scan detect an ulcer?
No, you cannot see an ulcer on a ct scan.
Can a CT scan detect an aneurysm?
Yes...generally.
Can ct brain scan detect autism?
No, autism isn't detectable on CT scans.
Can you see Ovarian cancer on a xray?
No, you will need a CT (CAT Scan)
Can a ct scan without contrast detect brain tumor?
Yes, brain tumours can show up very clearly on CT scans especially if the patient is injected with an X-ray dye.
Why it is not advisable to have X rays and CT scan exposures in relatively short period?
because RADIATION can come from X-rays & CT scan, which can cause cancer, & mutations in the later generation

Can a ct scan miss cancer?
A CT scan can often detect evidence of a growth or tumor. If cancer is suspected, a biopsy is usually performed to determine whether the growth is malignant or benign. (I know this because my son, currently in remission from cancer, has had multiple CT scans to look for regrowth of his original tumor. I was told that if a regrowth occured, a biopsy would be done.)
Do you use a Thyroid scan for a CT scan?
No, a thyroid scan and a CT scan are two different imaging techniques used for distinct purposes. A thyroid scan typically uses radioactive isotopes to evaluate thyroid function and detect abnormalities, while a CT scan employs X-rays to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body. They are not interchangeable and are used based on specific clinical indications.
Why it is not advisable to have several x-rays and CT scan exposure in a relatively short period?
because RADIATION can come from X-rays & CT scan, which can cause cancer, & mutations in the later generation
