CT Scan Query

I'm currently under urgent review for lymphoma symptoms. I have a lot of swollen lymphnodes in the back of my neck. I had a neck to pelvis ct scan today and I'm overthinking everything tonight... as I was laid on my back, will the swollen ones even show up as they're on the back of my neck? Or should I have been on my front? Sorry if this is a stupid question.
My symptoms have been ongoing for over a year and it's only I've now had very high LDH, IgA and IgM show on my bloods that they've rushed things through.
Any advice would be appreciated
Thanks

Yes, they'll show up. The CT scanner takes pictures of your body in slices (so the images are ovals as if you're chopped in half) so it doesn't matter you're on your back. Best of luck x
