Can ultrasound detect u have kidney cancer?


Can ultrasound detect u have kidney cancer?

Ultrasound may detect an abnormality in shape, size or profile of the kidney. Other tests would also be needed as well--a CAT scan, maybe a MRI, possibly a biopsy if something was seen on the tests.

No, ultrasound uses sound waves to penetrate matter and get a visual of what is inside.

Ultrasound could detect a structural abnormality -- a lump or a buldge.

A biospy would be required to sample the tissue from that lump, so it could be microscopically examined for cancer cells.
