Can you tell from a CT scan what the amount of damage is to a knee?

Asked by Steve_A (5125points) March 1st, 2010

I recently got a CT scan but I do not see the doctor till the 4th, but they gave me the CD with the images and I am very curious as to how serious my knee injury is.

I am looking at it now and I can’t tell a damn thing it looks fine though compared to my non-injured knee and it looks normal to me still not sure why they did not do a MRI instead but anyways.

How good are CT scans for ligaments,tendons and the such?

I could possibly upload a image. Since I probably do not see it since I am not a doctor, but not sure if that is a good idea haha.
