    CT, MRI results vary, US may show things differently

    When imaging is done, it is usally done for a specific area.  Ultrasound showed my liver mass, and then they did an MRI.  If these symptoms persist, continue workup.  Going to an ER is hit and miss because the docs change.  Find a GI doc and go in a regular appt.  Someone needs to manage your case and get things in proper order, and testing done.  Good luck.
