CT scan: Ct scan or other radiology tests are just that, a radiologist interpretation of what they are seeing. Things seen on a ct scan may or may not have any clinical meaning for the patient. The ct scan may have only seen a normal contraction that your colon was doing at that time. Ask your doctor who ordered the ct scan if there is any meaning for you. You could have a follow up colonoscopy if needed.
