False Negative CT?

by Herten33, Oct 26, 2009 02:05PM
How common are False Negative CT scans for a small bowel restriction due to Adhesions?  I truly believe I am experiencing the begining stages of my third bowel obstruction due to scar tissue, however a CT scan was negative...  The first one barely showed up and they had to perform exploratory surgery, but at the time I was already hospitalized due to severe pain but this was months after the pains began.  Now I am hoping that I have caught it early but nothing has shown up on the tests.  Am I just being paranoid because of the past, or is there a chance that I do have the beginings of another restriction and it just isn't enough to show up yet?  Please advise!
