How Do CT Scans Compare to Other Imaging Modalities?
In gynecology, other imaging modalities such as ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are also commonly used. Here's a brief comparison:
- Ultrasound: Often the first choice for evaluating pelvic organs due to its safety, accessibility, and real-time imaging capabilities. However, it may not provide the same level of detail as a CT scan. - MRI: Provides superior contrast resolution for soft tissues and is often used for detailed evaluation of complex cases. Unlike CT, MRI does not involve radiation exposure but is more time-consuming and expensive.
