Can 2 ct scans with contrasr miss anything wrong in the gi tract ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: There can be structural, infectious and metabolic problems within the intestine and liver that are missed by ct scans. Blood work, physical examination, dietary changes, and stool cultures will determine if direct visualization by scope is necessary.
