Learn more about abdominal and pelvic CT by visiting https://www.radiologyinfo.org/en/info... • Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen and pelvis is a diagnostic imaging test. There are many indications for a CT of your abdomen and pelvis. Your doctor may ask for this test when looking for kidney stones, other causes of abdominal pain or nausea / vomiting (including appendicitis and diverticulitis), and assessing a wide variety of cancers involving organs in your abdomen or pelvis. CT scanning is fast, painless, noninvasive and accurate. In emergency cases, it can reveal internal injuries and bleeding quickly enough to help save lives. • Tell your doctor if there's a possibility you are pregnant. Discuss any recent illnesses, medical conditions, medications you're taking, and allergies. Your doctor may tell you not to eat or drink anything for a few hours before your exam. If you have a known allergy to contrast material, your doctor may prescribe medications to reduce the risk of an allergic reaction. Leave jewelry at home and wear loose, comfortable clothing. You may be asked to change into a hospital gown for the exam.
