Confused

Hello I'm after some information as myself and my husband are totally confused so my husband has had 2 x-rays and both showed a shadow which hasnt down sized and within 3 days of the last x-tay the doctor rang saying he was refuting him for a CT scan. The next day the receptionist of the surgery rang to say he was booked in for a CT scan on his abdomen and pelvic area, I've tried to Google answers but nothing comes up this has confused us does anyone know why this would be please
