CT is typically employed in gynecology when detailed images are necessary to diagnose complex conditions. Some common indications include:
1. Evaluation of pelvic masses: CT scans can help differentiate between benign and malignant pelvic masses. 2. Staging of gynecologic cancers: CT is crucial in determining the extent of cancers such as ovarian, cervical, and endometrial cancer. 3. Assessment of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID): In severe cases, CT can help visualize the extent of infection. 4. Detection of complications from gynecological surgeries: Such as abscesses or hemorrhage.
