Why Has Doctor Told Me To Do Barium CT Scan?

I have been told that from an ultrasound I had looking at my gallbladder that the gallbladder checked out fine but that there is a shadow at the tip of my pancreas. I have been told that I need a berium CT scan follow up. Is this something that is serious. I am a 30 year old male with no other medical conditions.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.

You have gone through ultrasound for gall bladder. Your gall bladder is normal but there is shadow at tip of pancreas. It can be pancreatic cyst or some mass in pancreas. So to diagnose the cause CT scan is required. So go for it. It can be benign lesion or can be malignant. But investigations are required. So consult your doctor and plan accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
