A Doctor Who specializes in interpreting CAT scans, also known as CT scans, is called a radiologist. Radiologists are medical doctors trained to diagnose and treat diseases using imaging techniques, including CT, MRI, and X-rays. They analyze the images produced by the scans to provide insights for patient diagnosis and treatment.
Probably not since cancer filled lymph nodes are painless. Your doctor is doing a CT scan probably to find an infection.
Yeah, a cat scan is pretty much safe. I say 'pretty much' because the ionizing rays cat scans apply can cause DNA which can lead to cancer. Same as X-rays. However, this is very rare, and your doctor would only give you a cat scan/X-ray if he thought you really needed one. What I'm saying here is that, for all practical purposes, cat scans are safe.
do lymph nodes show on a cat scan
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.
CAT SCAN is a medical procedure and so it would need to be arranged by a doctor or health-care professional.
