A member asked:
So ihad a ultrasound and was told i had a 8mm gallstone. i later had a ct scan for another matter. it said no gallstones present. so do i have stones?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes you do: Ultrasound is much more sensative than is CT for looking at the gallbladder. Ultrasound will show the gall stones before they are seen on CT.
