Would a CT pick up a breast change?

I noticed what i think is moveable breast tissue (doesnt feel like a lump as such) below the nipple area towards to outer breast a few weeks before i had a CT scan back in July (the CT was for lymph nodes, all ok they was very small).

Would the consultant have picked something if it was anything sinister?

I haven't had any symptoms either, I just thought about it a few days ago and wondered if i should get it checked or not?

Also for info, last year i had an ultrasound on the breast for a lump i found which was just breast tissue.

Thanks :)

I have breast cancer and they have used mammo, ultrasound, MRI for cancer in breast. I think scans for something else are primarily looking at the other thing and its hit and miss from my experience if they pick things up. I had a chest x-ray a month before by breast cancer was discovered and nothing was pointed out and it was a massive cancer so would have been there.

Though moveable would generally mean its not cancer. You could maybe ask GP advice but I would expect that to be benign.

@Silkierabbit i might just ask the doctor for some advice then.

Definitely moveable and does just feel like tissue, its not hard i just know it feels different to the other.

I did breast feed 18 months ago and think that has altered the tissue probably, i noticed this around 5/6 months after having an ultrasound on that breast too so maybe it could have been the same then and id not noticed.
