Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-rays to produce cross-sectional images of the body. In gynecology, CT scans are less commonly used compared to ultrasound and MRI due to the radiation exposure. However, they can be very helpful in staging gynecologic cancers, evaluating the spread of disease, and assessing complex pelvic anatomy. CT scans are particularly useful in emergency situations such as diagnosing ruptured ovarian cysts or ectopic pregnancy.
