Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
Ct scan may be nonspecific for lesions smaller than 5mm and in this case, MRI scan should be done for better evaluation especially if there was history of other cancer. ALSO, PET scan would be better option.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
