A member asked:
Why is it when the doc sees something mild on an us, they send you for further ct scans and the ct doesnt pick up what the us did. why is that?

No worries: Could be whatever the mild finding on the US was, it was gone by the time of the CT. The reason for doing a CT is to confirm the US (which is not as good an imaging test). Sometimes what was on the US shows up as a normal structure on the CT. There are many reasons for the differences. I wouldn't worry too much about this.
