It's probably nothing but it was pretty strange how getting a CT scan of my abdomen came about to be ordered. I saw my kidney specialist at the medical centre last month, which was a largely uneventful visit. He looked at the test results for that visit and said for me to come and get checked again in 4 months.
Now a month later he's ordered a CT scan of my lower abdomen, strangely out of the blue with no warning. One of the medical centre staff rang me yesterday asking how would I like the referral to be sent out for the scan.
After reading it in the email, it refers to an ultrasound I had done months ago of my liver and surrounding organs. It picked up some mysterious mass near my spleen. So he wants a CT scan of that to see what it is.
Probably just being cautious, but it just seems weird that he's order the scan now. The ultrasound results were sent to him months ago and he didn't think anything was worrisome. I have to see my GP at the same medical centre soon so I might ask him about it. I guess it's possible my GP may have followed up the ultrasound results with my kidney specialist.
