I'm worried about some ongoing health issues and wondered if a CT scan of the abdomen and chest might reveal problems with my aorta, diaphragm, or soft tissue. Could these areas show potential issues on this type of scan?

Can a CT scan determine if someone has a positive or negative result for the coronavirus? Also, if the CT scan report doesn't show any infection, does that mean the person is definitely negative for COVID-19?

I'm a bit confused about my x-ray reports. The first time I got it done, the results seemed off, but when I had another one the next day, everything looked fine. I'm just trying to understand if it's common to get different x-ray results like that, and if there's a chance something could have gone wrong the first time. Is this something I should worry about?
