Which is more accurate: ovarian ultrasound or CT?

Patient's question:

I went to the hospital two days ago for a CT scan, and it said I had an ovarian cyst the size of an egg. However, the ultrasound said there wasn't one. Which is more accurate, an ovarian ultrasound or a CT scan?

Doctor's answer:

General checks for ovarian cyst disease are usually first diagnosed through laparoscopy and CT scans. So, in the current situation, if a CT scan is performed and it shows that you have ovarian cyst disease, it means the diagnosis can be confirmed. If the ovarian cyst is as big as an egg, it indicates that the cyst is relatively large, and there is a possibility of the cyst being pathological. It is recommended to undergo surgery at an early stage.
