Hello. I have a bulging stomach so my doctor ordered a CT scan but won't go over the results with me. I don't think he knows how to read them. Is there a particular specialist who can or does anyone know if these images indicate ab separation? Thanks!

Answer: Diastasis Recti Presence? The CT images you provided are merely a snapshot of the scout film (first two pictures), image of the hear and lung, and another which demonstrates a side view - none of which will demonstrate the presence of a diastasis recti. I'd recommend that you either reach out to your surgeon directly, or the imaging facility that obtained the images. Often times, they will have a radiologist review the images and provide a detailed report (to your surgeon). Overall, however, diastasis recti presence is often times a clinical diagnosis which does not require imaging. I'd be happy to review this with you. Best, Dr. Satey.
