What Does My CT Scan Report Indicate?
Question: What does it mean when a CT scan indicates soft tissue in the abdomen/pelvic area
Brief Answer:
it can mean a lot of things
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
You have not provided any sort of details regarding the background of the patient, symptoms faced and the detailed CT report. All of these are important in interpreting a CT.
If it is just a small vague soft tissue in an asymptomatic patient, then it is of little significance. But a soft tissue mass in a person with previous history of cancer can suggest recurrence of disease.
If you provide more details, I can guide you better.
Regards
