What Does this CT Scan Result Mean?

Hello I had a ct done can u explain the results FINDINGS: The liver is diffusely low in attenuation. A low-attenuation 2.5 x 1.9 cm structure posterior to the right hepatic lobe containing a surgical clip is unchanged since 03/10/2014. The spleen, adrenal glands, pancreas and kidneys are unremarkable. There is no hydronephrosis. The patient is status post cholecystectomy. No abdominal or pelvic lymphadenopathy is seen. Evaluation of the intra-abdominal structures is limited due to lack of intra-abdominal fat. The patient is status post Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedure. There is mild mural thickening of small bowel loops within the left upper quadrant and a mildly dilated loop of small bowel within the left upper quadrant measuring 3.0 cm in diameter Trace free fluid is present within the pelvis. No extraluminal oral contrast can be visualized. The patient is status post hysterectomy. A nonspecific stranding is noted throughout the subcutaneous fat. The osseous structures are intact. Impression 1. Small bowel loops within the left upper quadrant demonstrating moderate mural thickening and mild dilatation consistent with enteritis likely of the pancreaticoduodenal limb and the region of the distal anastomosis. 2. Hepatic steatosis.

Hi I did review your concerns.
Your ct scan reports are indicative of mild fatty liver and mild infection of duodenum that can happen post operatively.However, caution needs to be taken in form of not allowing to develop perforation or obstruction.
I hope this helps.
Let me know if you have any more questions or concerns.
Wish you all the best.
