I need information please

Hi I am 34 and suffered from lower back pains so the Dr sent me to get a ct scan and they found 0.3 hypo density near the lower liver margin in segment 6 (series 3 image 34 and the rest of my liver is normal with no biliary dilation. And a 0.8 diverticulum is notes arising from the fundus of the gallbladder (series 3 image 26) with no gallstones. This Dr didn't explain much to me so I am kind of worried if anyone can explain this it would be great...

The main thing to keep in mind about incidentally found lesions is that they are highly probable to be of a benign nature. Also, smaller ones are hard to characterize due to the limited resolution of the imaging technology. So your doctors will likely do a wait and watch approach wrt these so you shouldn't worry, easy to say though I know. Btw, segment VI is the very low right, outer portion of your liver, if you wondered exactly where this is, pushing up against the side ribs.

Since you had an expensive CT scan done, at least call your doctor's office to obtain results that you can understand.  They should not just test you and then leave you hanging without some kind of followup information going forward.
