CT Scan?

[mayk19]

Hi All,

I had a CT scan a couple of years ago, that just listed the result as "Chest, Abdomen and Pelvis - All normal"

Would the CT Scan have to specifically look at the liver or would that be covered in the description above? its quite a large area - Chest to pelvis. thanks.

My pelvis CT reported incidental findings in liver and spleen, a subsequent abdo CT also covered pelvis. I’ve since had a more detailed MRI to check liver and spleen findings.

Thanks for sharing that. Sorry to read of your issues. Br

the Ct chest catches the upper abdomen, if anything is seen while they are looking at the chest it will be reported as a incidental finding.

Yes, an abdominal and pelvic CT absolutely and specifically looks at the abdominal and pelvic organs - so the liver, spleen, pancreas etc. If required it can easily encompass the gastrointestinal tract too.

I have MRI’s and CT scans every 12 weeks as I have liver cancer they always scan the liver but do you have ultra scans ? Because they can tell quite a bit from them .. good luck …
