When is CT scan preferred in gynecological imaging?
While not as commonly used as ultrasound or MRI, Computed Tomography (CT) scans are sometimes employed in gynecology, particularly in acute settings. It is useful for identifying complications such as abscesses, assessing metastasis in gynecological cancers, and evaluating pelvic injuries. However, due to its use of ionizing radiation, CT is generally reserved for specific scenarios where other imaging modalities are inadequate.
