What would an abdominal ct scan show that an us wouldn't? ruq discomfort under ribs. had liver bloodwork 4 months ago, all normal. us came back normal
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rib fractures: CT could show a variety of things not seen on an US. The most likely would be rib fractures. Also, a CT is likely to note more suble changes of inflammation, and lymph adenopathy. Plus, the CT should provide a nice look at the pancreas which is often difficult to see on US
