Abdominal pain is one of the most common reasons people end up in the ER, but many gastrointestinal conditions cannot be diagnosed accurately through symptoms alone.
Conditions like:
• Diverticulitis
• Appendicitis
• Bowel obstruction
• Colitis
• Pancreatitis
• Kidney stones
often require CT imaging to identify inflammation, infection, perforation, obstruction, or other serious findings.
At MDView, patients can upload their abdominal CT scans for an independent second opinion review by a board-certified body imaging radiologist who is an expert in abdominal imaging.
Many people seek additional review when:
• Symptoms continue despite being told imaging was “normal”
• Surgery is being discussed
• Findings are unclear or “nonspecific”
• They want added confidence in their diagnosis
We recently published a new article discussing diverticulitis and other abdominal conditions commonly diagnosed on CT scans, along with why imaging interpretation can sometimes vary.
