Computed tomography of the pelvis
Computed tomography (CT) of the pelvic organs is a modern, non-invasive diagnostic procedure that provides detailed images of all pelvic structures, including the genitourinary system, intestines, and other adjacent tissues. This diagnostic method is key to detecting various pathologies, such as tumors, inflammatory processes, cysts, stones, and other abnormalities.

What does a CT scan of the pelvic organs show?
Computed tomography (CT) scans of the pelvic organs are particularly useful for assessing the condition of the internal genitals, urinary tract, and rectum.
A CT scan of the pelvic organs is recommended in the following cases:
- Diagnosis and evaluation of tumors and neoplasms in the pelvic area.
- Examination of the bladder and prostate in men and uterus and ovaries in women.
- Assessment of lymph node condition and search for oncological disease metastases.
- Diagnostics of inflammatory processes and infections in the pelvic organs.
A CT scan of the pelvic organs can also be useful in planning surgical interventions and monitoring the effectiveness of treatment. Thanks to the high accuracy of the images, CT contributes to rapid diagnosis and effective treatment planning.
Indications for CT of the pelvic organs
Computed tomography (CT) scans of the pelvic organs are important for diagnosing and evaluating various diseases affecting the pelvic organs, including the genitourinary system and reproductive organs.
Indications for pelvic CT include:
- Assessment of the condition and anatomy of the bladder, prostate, ovaries, and other pelvic organs.
- Diagnosis of tumors and neoplasms, including their size, shape, and extent.
- Examination for chronic pelvic pain.
- Обследование при хронических болях в области малого таза
- Diagnosis of inflammatory diseases, including endometriosis and inflammation of the appendages.
- Assessment of pelvic organ condition after injuries or surgical interventions.
- Detection and evaluation of urinary tract stones.
Importantly! Before the CT scan, the patient must provide complete medical information and a referral from the attending physician. This will help the radiologist choose the optimal scan parameters and provide a more accurate interpretation of the results, taking into account the individual characteristics of each patient.
Preparation for the procedure
Preparation for a CT scan of the pelvic organs requires the following recommendations to ensure the accuracy and safety of the study:
- It is recommended to abstain from eating for a few hours before the procedure. Drinking water is generally allowed.
- All metal jewelry, watches, and other items must be removed to avoid picture distortion.
- It is important to bring documentation of previous medical investigations and treatments.
- Tell your doctor about your current medical conditions, allergies, and medications.
- If contrast is to be used, the patient may need special preparation, including increased fluid intake, to better remove the contrast from the body.
Importantly! Before the CT scan of the pelvic organs, EasyMed specialists will provide a detailed consultation on the preparation for the procedure and answer all the patient’s questions.
Pelvic CT Scan Process
The pelvic CT scan procedure begins with the patient’s arrival at the clinic. In the first stage, the patient registers and provides their medical history and information about current problems, especially if there is an allergy to contrast agents or medications.
Before the procedure, the patient must usually remove all clothing and wear a hospital gown. It is also important to remove all metal objects so they do not affect the quality of the images. If a contrast agent is to be used, it is administered intravenously.
The patient lies on a special scanner table, slowly moving inside the CT machine. It is important to remain still during the scan and follow the instructions regarding breathing to get clear pictures. The procedure takes between 10 and 30 minutes, depending on the specific requirements of the study.
The machine may make loud noises during the scan, but the procedure does not cause pain or discomfort. Once the CT scan is complete, the patient can leave the clinic immediately if there are no instructions for additional follow-up or precautions. The CT scan results are usually discussed with the doctor after analyzing the images.
CT scan of the pelvic organs with contrast medium
CT scan of the pelvic organs with a contrast agent is used to obtain detailed images of internal structures, contributing to a more accurate diagnosis of various diseases. The introduction of contrast significantly improves the visualization of tissues, facilitating the identification of pathological changes.
The pelvic CT scan procedure with contrast is especially recommended in the following cases:
- Tumor diagnosis: Contrast improves the detection and evaluation of tumors, including their size, structure, and spread.
- Internal Organ Assessment: Effective for examining the condition of the pelvic organs such as the bladder, prostate, ovaries, and uterus.
- Detection of Inflammation and Infections: Helps detect and evaluate pelvic inflammatory diseases.
Importantly! Any allergies, especially iodine-containing contrast agents, should be reported to the doctor before the CT scan. In rare cases, the contrast can cause an allergic reaction. Most patients experience no side effects, and the contrast is quickly eliminated from the body. Drinking more fluids after the procedure is recommended to speed up the comparison elimination.
Contraindications
Contraindications to computed tomography (CT) of the pelvic organs include relative and absolute limitations.
Relative contraindications:
- Claustrophobia: Patients with a fear of confined spaces may experience discomfort during the procedure.
- Pregnancy: Especially in the first trimester, because of the potential risk to the fetus.
Absolute contraindications:
- Presence of a pacemaker or other electronic devices sensitive to radiation exposure.
- Severe allergic reactions to iodine-containing contrast agents if used in the procedure.
- Severe abnormal renal function that may worsen due to the excretion of the contrast medium.
Importantly! Clients contacting EasyMed will be informed of all the necessary precautions before the procedure.
Safety of the procedure
Importantly! Before the procedure, discussing all the risks and benefits with your doctor is recommended. If necessary, EasyMed will provide additional information and support at all stages of the diagnosis.
