What is a pelvic CT scan used for?

Doctors use pelvic CT scans to detect diseases in your internal organs in the area between your hip bones. The CT scan takes a series of X-ray images and compiles them to render a detailed 3D image of your pelvic region.

CT scans of your pelvis take images of the organs, blood vessels, and connective tissues in your lower abdomen and pelvis. Pelvic CT scans are also used to detect problems in your lymph nodes and bones located in this area of your body.
