    Muscle atrophy

    I have seen recent posts about imaging and which imaging is best for hernia detection, especially after mesh implantation. I have had multiple hernia surgeries and the latest surgery was AWR. I am scheduled to have a CT scan before my follow up. After reading some responses, I am not sure a CT scan will be best for detecting problems after such a large mesh implantation. I am having severe groin pain and abdominal pain and want to get the best imaging to detect any problems. Also worried about the radiation from CT, especially since I have had false negative ones, or at least ones that were misread, in the past. Do you suggest MRI,and if so, why? Thank you for your help!
