A member asked:
W/c is better in detecting problems in abdomen? ultrasound or ct scan?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends.: Really depends on what the doctors are looking for. The ultrasound would be more accurate for the right upper abdominal quadrant (liver, gallbladder, biliary ducts and such). The CT scan would generally be good for intestinal issues. So depends on what the doctors are looking for.
