Went to the er for gallstone pain the radiologist spotted nutcracker syndrome/ left renal vein entrapment syndrome. can a vascular surgeon use this ct?

Imaging: A contrasted CT is better than a non-contrasted CT for NCS. Make a CD of the images and see a vascular surgeon. Your surgeon will decide what kind of imaging they need to help you decide what to do.
