All imaging results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, the finding is not a cause for concern. Wish you good health!

Should I be concerned that my Amylase is slightly high? The range is 28-100. Mine was 105. Been having upper GI pain but CT scan of abdomen with contrast was normal - would that rule out pancreas issues? If so why else could amylase be slightly high?
