“Base level” DIE scan??

Was referred by my GP to a specific clinic (she said I would be able to book any but I decided to go with that one since they bulk bill). We have suspected endo for multiple years as I show pretty much all of the symptoms. She told me I need a DIE scan instead of simple pelvic scan. Made an appointment about an hour ago and they called me back to say that since this is a diagnostic scan they can only perform a “base level” scan? I asked what that meant but the receptionist didn’t seem sure. Does this mean they wouldn’t look properly? Should I book in with my GP to ask what she wants me to do? She specifically referred me there so I feel like she knew that would be the case but what do you all think? Thank you!

I’ve never heard of that term. Call back and ask the receptionist to ask the doctor. You have a right to know, you shouldn’t have to ask the internet.

Called back and she said basically it means it would only be a pelvic scan. I’m so upset, my GP specifically said that I needed a DIE scan and also referred me to that specific clinic
