CT scans are often recommended when there is a need for a detailed view of the pelvic organs. Common indications include:
- Suspected malignancies: To identify and stage ovarian, uterine, or cervical cancers. - Pelvic masses: To evaluate the nature of ovarian cysts or other pelvic masses. - Infections: To diagnose pelvic inflammatory disease or tubo-ovarian abscess. - Trauma: To assess injuries to the pelvic organs. - Pre-surgical planning: To provide detailed anatomical information before complex gynecological surgeries.
