See answer: While in some instances cat scans may identify large stomach ulcers the imaging modality most appropriate for this determination is an upper gi. Very frequently gastroenterologists will actually visualize stomach ulcers with a “scope” by performing an upper endoscopy – please talk to your dr. To gain further perspective.

Ulcer: Generally a ct scan will not see a stomach ulcer in less it is a very large also. Many times the stomach is also not distended during the ct scan making it difficult to view. Sometimes right before the ct scan is taken the technologist may give you a extra glass of contrast to distended stomach. Generally also is our best seen by an endoscopy from a gastroenterologist.
