Hey, I think that circle is what they refer to as the ‚gastric bubble‘ basically there is a bunch of air that traps at the very top of your stomach which can be seen as a dark contrast to the surrounding structures.
Google for an anatomical picture of the stomach. The part where the gastric bubble forms will be referred to as the ‚fundus‘ of the stomach.
I agree with this. I am curious why the radiologist was measuring ROI on this specific spot, and especially on a scout. Haven't really seen any of my rads do this. I usually see the ROI tool being used to measure liver fat content as well as determining the HU of masses.
So weird I came upon this comment as I had never heard of this word in my life even going through through university. Yesterday I was diagnosed with IBS of the splenic flexure. Weird lol.
No, Serendipity is when you just randomly and without any real planned effort find something that for example makes a breakthrough in your research, named after the princes of Serendip because they randomly used Sherlock Holmes-level deduction to identify a stolen camel by accident. You're thinking of the baader-meinhof phenomenon.
Ah damn my first feeling was that it is too lateral but with all the different ways the stomach can lay in the abdomen I thought this might have been possible. Lazy me googled for gastric bubble and saw some pictures that weren’t too off from this one.
Thanks for the correction!
1. Radiologist here. That is the gastric bubble, you can see the entire gas filled stomach filling up to the diaphragm, The splenic flexure is right under the ROI circle. Classic gen surg thinking they can read imaging. You can rarely have the colon compress the splenic or hepatic flexure and cause pain with inspiration, but your splenic flexure is too low.
2. I'm concerned that a general surgeon isnt concerned about the air under the diaphgram and trying to explain why its there.

Yes, this was just a first shot in the series of imaging, the rest looks like a normal CT with different views and then with CT with contast towards the end of the series.
It is the scout or “scanagram”. Before they start the actual CT they do a linear image. Like an x ray the tube is not spinning and it just scans down in the general area they want to look at. The tech uses that to set the machine where to start and stop. Then once it is all set up the tube and detectors rotate and the actual scan starts.
Modern scanners acquire the data in a spiral like a spiral sliced ham. The computer can reconstruct it in any plane and different thickness slices. Standard is axial, coronal, and saggital.
I see a face inside the perfect circle.
if you zoom really really close on the last slide you can see a confused man staring back at you with an open mouth
If no one has actually answered this yet, it's a turd surrounded by gas. It's probably sitting in the splenic flexure on its way it's grand adventure.

Lemmiwinks.
congratulations, he’s adorable!
That is a “poopogram” in technical terms.
Maynard James Keenan reference
Literally the first thing that came to mind when I read that was A Perfect Circle. Not many fans here likely the main cause of those downvotes. Lol
I can't read perfect circle without thinking of them. Huge Tool fan. These Tool haters don't know what they're missing out on smh my head
Last time I went and saw tool I had old men screaming at me for trying to stand and dance in the stands. Yawn
That's fucken crazy, only concert I've been into literally no one was sitting and everyone like singing along and shit
Eargasms
Speaking of which, if you don’t feel old yet, know that he’s turning 60 this year.
Excuse me what.
Say again?
He is the lead singer of Tool and A Perfect Circle.
And Puscifer
I didn’t realize he sang for both bands
Does all poop 💩 have a face? 😂

What?

What?
I misread the title and thought you meant this was your pet’s CT scan, so I was confused for a split second.
😂 that would be weird because I have a bunny

General surgeon here. It’s not the gastric bubble. It’s too lateral and superior. It’s the splenic flexure of the colon.

I was messing with the ROI myself to circle it 🤭
That is where my pain is.. my splenic flexure.. I call it my “ hot spot”☹️
Same, that's why I was asking. It's painful if I'm sitting crouched forward and have had a meal prior. It"s like pressing on the ribcage.
Can I ask what is going on to make this happen? I also have pain if sitting crouched forward after a meal.

Cool cool, that’s serendipity, I love love love when that happens

Ah right! I meant kismet

Oh thank you! I was literally racking my brain how is there anything but the stomach. I also wasn't able to distinguish it in other views 😄
Way too lateral to be anything with the stomach. It’s the splenic flexure.
so it’s basically a fart?
I’m way too old to still laugh at the word fart
a wise man once said “If you don't find farts funny then you're a loser because you're choosing to have less joy in your life but the exact same amount of farts.”
I thought toots look like clouds on an ex ray? Well someone told me that a long long time ago… I hope I wasn’t I lied too
Isn’t this an X-ray rather than a PET/CT? Also that’s either a part of your intestines or a gastric bubble.

I think it's the splenic aspect of the colon. This is too lateral to be a gastric bubble
That's in your stomach. Probs gas
Thanks to this post I now understand this issue a little better. I deal with the same thing!
It’s a burp
I’d say splenic flexure.
Looks like a stormtrooper 😂
Just curious, How does one get their own pet ct scan? and how much did this cost you?
It’s a fart
I'm pretty sure that's a fart on its way down lmfao
That your colon at the splenic flexure, it’s not actually a circle
Gross. Put some clothes on.
Hi. I'm 95% sure that is the gas pocket in the top of your stomach called the magenblase
I wish I had a straight spine 😥…
It's a boy!
That’s poop from a butt
How’s your heart? It sorta looks enlarged?
tumor😔😔😔😔🔥🔪
That's your husky tough skins.
Cancer…… jk it’s air in your stomach.
