[ Please Help ] CT Scan Abdomen and PelvisHi , i am male . the doctor at the Urology hospital asked me to do a CT scan of the Abdomen and Pelvis. will be done next week. My question is, will this CT scan show a testicle report if there is a problem with the testicles. or it is a different scan. because the Scan is for Abdomen and Pelvis

Nope. Testicles can't really be seen on this kind of CT.
What monitoring is usually needed when taking a patient off anti-coagulation therapy for surgery? e.g. CT scan, d-dimer?For reference, this family member's CHADS2-VASC score is 4.Thank you for your help. The CHADS2-VASC calculator definitely improved my understanding.
No monitoring is needed. The idea now is to resume anticoagulation once appropriate from a surgical standpoint. Not uncommon to wait anywhere from 5-14 days post-op to resume anticoagulation depending on how bloody the procedure was.
