Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
i had a colonoscopy on Friday Jan 15th, 2016...found polyps in the ascending and descending tube from the anal area...also where upper and lower intestine meets there is a valve...but valve contains 2 or 3 polyps and shape unknown....took multiple biopsies ...awaiting results. Now Docs order a MRI of the abdomen got approval ...today Jan 19th, 2016. I received a call today saying Radiologists wants to change from MRI to KATSCAN....I don t believe KATSCAN is a way to go to see or find out whats going on in my abdomen as KATSCAN insert LOTS OF GAMMA RAYS into your body...I called back Doc to go with first choice by doing the MRI as its less or no GAMMA RAYS in the body please advise .....you can call me or email me @ YYYY@YYYY . cell 646-436-5596 thnkx Norman Williams
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, if this is the polyps finally being diagnosed with the help of colonoscopy then no need to go for further investigation, it is all depends upon the doctor who is taking care and job can not be challenged, Cat scan is not the gama rays and it is the safe to do hope this information helps.
