Brief Answer:
CT scan of whole abdomen

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Since your father had history of stomach cancer and USG is showing increased echogenicity i would advise you to do a CT scan of whole abdomen to rule out any lesion in liver.

You must reduce eating oily food and do regular exercise for atleast 1 hour per day to reduce fatty liver.

In USG abdomen report only says no lesion found in liver. Still do you want us to go for CT scan ?

Answered by Dr. Monish De (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
CT scan upper abdomen

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Sometimes USG may miss small liver lesions less than 1 cm in size.
That is why you must do a CT scan of upper abdomen atleast to rule out any metastatic liver lesions.

If you have no more clarifications then please rate the answer and close the thread.
