CT Pelvis

5000+ scans done & counting

A CT Pelvis scan is a diagnostic procedure that utilizes a combination of X-rays and computer technology to generate detailed images of the structures and organs in the pelvic area. This includes the hips, bladder, prostate or uterus, ovaries or testicles, and the lymph nodes. The CT Pelvis scan offers a more detailed look at these structures compared to traditional X-rays. This diagnostic test is commonly used to detect abnormalities, such as tumors, fractures, infections, or other diseases, within the pelvis.

Specific Instructions:

Preparing for a CT Pelvis scan involves several specific instructions that need to be followed to ensure optimal results:

  • Fasting: You may need to fast (not eat or drink anything) for a few hours before your CT scan. This is particularly important if a contrast material will be used in your scan. Your doctor will provide specific instructions based on your health and the specifics of the scan.
  • Allergies: Please inform your doctor if you have any known allergies, especially to iodine or contrast materials which are sometimes used in CT scans. In some cases, pre-medication may be given to prevent a reaction to the contrast material.
  • Pregnancy: If you are pregnant or suspect you may be pregnant, it is important to notify your healthcare provider due to potential risks associated with radiation.
  • Medical history: Ensure to inform your healthcare provider of your medical history, especially if you have kidney disease, asthma, diabetes, heart disease, or thyroid problems. These conditions may affect how your body responds to the contrast material.
  • Medications: You may be asked to adjust your regular medications, particularly if you have diabetes and are taking metformin
