OR
[Location] CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings on CT scan suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].
OR
There are no CT scan findings associated with [disease name]. However, a CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of [disease name], which include [complication 1], [complication 2], and [complication 3].
CT scan
- There are no CT scan findings associated with [disease name].
- For greater diagnosis accuracy and pre-surgery study, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can also be performed, being preferred to CT scan given the young age group of the majority of the patients. When MRI is not available, CT scan with oral contrast is also an option. On MRI, congenital esophageal stenosis due to TBR will appear as an asymmetric wall thickening in the upper- mid- or distal esophagus, possibly with some hypointense areas on the T2-[1]
OR
- Chest CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of esophageal stricture due to malignant causes. CT scan is useful in staging of malignant stricture.

OR
- There are no CT scan findings associated with [disease name]. However, a CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of [disease name], which include:
