Can the scan detect cancer?
The 64-slice MDCT scanner may detect abnormalities such as nodules, masses, cysts or tumors as small as 0.4mm – that’s the size of a grain of sand. If the scan detects an abnormality, it is up to you and your personal physician to decide whether you should have any further testing to see whether or not the abnormality is cancerous. The report you will receive will aid in that decision. Early detection of cancer may improve your chances of survival.
