Overview
CT scan is useful in detecting metastasis to organs and regional lymph nodes
Key CT findings in Merkel cell cancer
- CT scan of the chest and abdomen may use to detect Merkel cell cancer metastasis.[1]
- CT scan of the head and neck may be also used to find Merkel cell carcinoma that has spread to regional lymph nodes.
- There are no CT scan findings associated with [disease name]. OR [Location] CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings on CT scan suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include:
- [Finding 1]
- [Finding 2]
- [Finding 3] OR There are no CT scan findings associated with [disease name]. However, a CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of [disease name], which include:
- [Complication 1]
