MRI is excellent for looking at scar tissue. MRI is able to distinguish between scar tissue and recurrent tumors. Therefore, breast MRI can evaluate a significant change in the lumpectomy site. It can determine how much cancer has spread beyond the surgical site after a breast biopsy or lumpectomy.
submitted 4 years ago by THEskinOFaROBOT. I have been doing a little googling around about scar tissue and can't find the answers I'm looking for. I'm wondering if there is a test/device/instrument that can detect scar tissue that is in the body, resulting from a previous trauma for example. I've read that massage therapy can help break down scar tissue, improve range of motion, decrease pain, etc.
