Cathy!
Great point! I have spoken to our local radiologist and he says that it depends on what shows up, whether something is significantly in the wrong place for example, or has been stretched or pulled into an unusual shape.
When my Gyno discovered via ultrasound that my ovaries had moved down and attached to my vagina, he knew that adhesions were indeed involved. He then had to perform a diagnostic laparoscopy to confirm his suspicions. I hope that one day, doctors & technicians will feel confident enough in what they see on an x-ray or ultrasound to eliminate the next step...the diagnostic surgery, because as we all know all too well... even this diagnostic surgery causes further adhesions.
I will ask the question though, good point!
Love & hugs
Jo
