What is your doctor': I suspect your doctor must have done some explaining about the ultrasound findings. If you are concerned, then you will get much better information with getting a CT scan of the abdomen. An ultrasound is a less reliable test for abdominal problems and is only used in select situation and then only as a complementary test. It is a poor mans CT scan, so its not always reliable.
