    Have you had a bad experience

    Have you had a bad experience with Ultrasound? My dr is against CT scans. She tells me they can give you cancer. She told me not to worry about my simple renal cyst.

    had a bad experience with ultrsounds just last month it took 3 ultrasounds to pick up tumor in breast tissue.  As the radiologist tech told me, ultrasounds do not pick up everything. They are better for some diagnosis than others
