Question: Hi Dr,

Its Patricia,

I am very nervous of my MRCP tomorrow. I am having consistent light color stool almost like a cardboard color. If there was some sort of malignancy would it have showed on my pancreatic protocol ct scan? I was just reading that ct scan and mri can n9t detect tumors smaller than 2cm. Is this correct? I am doing as you say and feel a bit better, but thr overwhelmning nausea and stool color is really making me nervous. Thank you Dr

Thank you Dr XXXXXXX

I have actually found a way for you to view my scans. It is used in the app you would be able to access as long as I give you permission. I would just need your email address and I will give you a password and you will be able to view scans. Would you want to see my pancreatic pt ct scan in the meantime until results are back for MRCP?

Detailed Answer:
Ok dear.
But as per your query regarding CT scan is concerned usually it never misses a lesion more the 1cm in size.
While MRI works on concept of splitting of water in presence of high magnetic field which means that when water content is high(like a tumour because in it cells are multiplying rapidly and blood supply to that area is high;Indirectly more water in that area(as blood contains water) so possibility of MRI missing a lesion of 2cm is almost zero(unless the technician knows nothing or magnetic field produced by machine is faulty).
A CT scan however uses XRays from 360degree angle so chances of CT missing a lesion are much higher but as MRI splits water molecule to form images missing a lesion of 2cm is i don't think possible.
Your MRCP has been done today?
Thank you!
