Ok to add to my post. The Dr said ultrasound has less radiation and therefore good for close follow up scans.

I heard elsewhere that thick necks can be hard to ultrasound. Anyone else hear this?

How do they compare to CT? Some articles I read say about the same and others say not as accurate. ??

What do you know or have been told or read?

Thanks!
