A good radiologist will note any abnormal findings in the field of the
scan. But the scan takes cuts, and they will be based on the area of
interest (ie: urinary tract). So there's no guarantee the scan would
pick up anything not in the area.
But this is not the way to investigate a symptom. First go to the doc
and tell him/her what you're feeling. Try to flesh out a bit when and
how things feel not quite right. The doc will then do the appropriate
test(s).
Good luck,
