No worries: The Cat scan is more precise than the ultrasound and this is why is used as a confirmatory test if the ultrasound shows something abnormal. So, if the Cat scan is normal, don't worry about it anymore. May I ask why did you have the ultrasound done in the first place?

A "shadow" on: ultrasound is not a specific finding and could mean almost anything. It may be normal, particularly if the CT showed no abnormality. What is the specific abnormality mentioned in the US report, if any?
