Hello.
Thank you for the query.
Upper abdominal pain and back pain are usually caused by gallstones. Unfortunatelly some gallstones are invisible in CT. To visualize gallstones ultrasound should be done. Gallstones pain is usually associated with foods intake. Nausea can be present.
Another possibility is peptic ulcer. This issue is also invisible in CT or MRI. To diagnose it, gastroscopy should be done. This test will also rule stomach cancer out and can diagnose Helicobacter Pylori infection.
Liver lesion or pancreas calcification do not cause any pain at all.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
