I have had an ultrasound probably kidney stones and possible bladder calculus?Then I had a CAT scan with Contrast--PYELOGRAM. It showed no kidney stones and no bladder stones. Only a small cyst on the liver. I still have symptoms though. Is there a need for a cystoscopy to view the bladder? Could this CAT scan miss cancer which is what the doctor is looking for due to my symptoms and the shadowing in the bladder they could not identify on the original ultrasound.

A shadow is not a tumor. They've confirmed there's nothing there. The steps are ultrasound then if something's found, cat scan, then if something's found, an MRI, then if something's found, a biopsy.

As you have symptoms you need first simple urine examination to rule out infection.
Ie it shows blood then cystoscopy is needed to see and asses.
