CTpelvimetri

CTpelvimetri is a diagnostic imaging technique used to evaluate the pelvic region. It combines the principles of computed tomography (CT) with pelvic examination, providing detailed images of the pelvic bones, organs, and surrounding tissues. This procedure is particularly useful in diagnosing conditions such as pelvic fractures, pelvic organ prolapse, and certain types of cancer.

The CTpelvimetri procedure involves the following steps. The patient is positioned on a table that can be adjusted to various angles, allowing for a comprehensive view of the pelvic region. A contrast agent may be administered to enhance the visibility of the pelvic structures. The CT scanner then captures multiple X-ray images from different angles, which are processed by a computer to create detailed cross-sectional images of the pelvis.

The resulting images provide high-resolution views of the pelvic bones, including the hip bones, sacrum, and coccyx, as well as the surrounding soft tissues and organs such as the bladder, uterus, and intestines. This detailed information helps radiologists and clinicians to accurately diagnose and plan appropriate treatment for various pelvic conditions.

CTpelvimetri is generally considered safe and well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort for the patient. However, like any imaging procedure, it involves exposure to radiation, and the use of contrast agents may carry risks such as allergic reactions or kidney damage. Patients should discuss these potential risks and benefits with their healthcare provider before undergoing the procedure.
