Overview


CT

On head and neck CT scan, uveal melanoma is characterized by elevated, hyperdense sharply marginated lenticular or mushroom shaped lesions that enhance with administration of contrast.

OR

[Location] CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings on CT scan suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include:

  • [Finding 1]
  • [Finding 2]
  • [Finding 3]

OR

There are no CT scan findings associated with [disease name]. However, a CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of [disease name], which include:
