A member asked:

Can ct show images of perforated bowel abscesses large fluid collection with an air level, and be wrong????

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: It is unlikely that a CT would be wrong. It is a very good test for assessing abscesses and an air/fluid level is an excellent indication of perforated bowel. It could however have been read incorrectly but most radiologists are expert in reading CT scans. You should ask for a second radiologist to read the CT if you suspect an error.
