Abdominal CT scans are a diagnostic tool used to identify various diseases and conditions in the abdomen or pelvis, including cancer, blood clots, kidney stones, and infections. They can also be used to visualize abdominal organs after traumatic injuries. The scans can be done with or without contrast dye, depending on the specific purpose. The results are interpreted by a radiologist, who will send a report to the healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment planning. While there is a small risk of increased cancer risk due to ionizing radiation, the benefits of the scan usually outweigh the risks.
