Dr. Michael Gabor answered

Specializes in Diagnostic Radiology

I'm not: sure I understand the question. Did the ultrasound show a hernia that was not seen on CT? Otherwise, an ultrasound report might mention a loop of bowel that technically interferes with the scan, but is otherwise normal and wouldn't be mentioned on a CT report.

Dr Munshower and 7 doctors agreed
