A member asked:
Have off & on episodes of severe pain in my abdomen after eating, i believe it's gallbladder drs aren't sure now ordered 4 ct is that necessary?

Probably not : 4 CT seems excessive. And if you or your doctor is thinking gallbladder then ultrasound is the method of choice as is a CCK Hida scan. The ultrasound to see if gallstones are present and the hida scan to see if it is contracting normally. Then you should know if it's the gallbladder or not.
