CT not the best test: They are poor at visualizing soft tissue. Ask you Dr. for an MRI or even an Ultrasound. GI bleeding means you need a gastroenterologist and perhaps and endocrinologist if you suspect issues with the Pancreas. Best to you !

Ct vs.mri: Cts are done in cuts,and depending on the area,of exam,it is likely to miss certain areas,MRI is very sensitive,,and shows tissues in great details,you also need endoscopic exams.
