What is the likelihood of a Ct scan missing a brain tumor?
The resolution of most modern CTs is 5mm. So if you has something smaller than this then it could be missed. However, such a small mass is likely to produce no symptoms. So it is very unlikely that you have a brain tumor
yes, agree with that
I believe an MRI is a better tool for finding tumors of that nature, though a CT scan is okay, too, and would likely pick up larger tumors. My ex, a heavy cell phone user, had a brain tumor removed back in 2007. His symptoms included headaches and nosebleeds early on, and then progressed to include personality changes and memory problems.
Your headaches though may be caused from EHS though, especially if you use a cell phone or cordless phone. EHS is an emerging environmental illne
Some tumors such as meningiomas can easily be missed on CT, as their density is nearly identical to gray matter.
I doubt that contrast was given for the CT.
If your symptoms persist, an MRI would be warranted.
