Computed Tomography (CT) - Abdomen and Pelvis. Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen and pelvis is a diagnostic imaging test used to help detect diseases of the small bowel, colon and other internal organs and is often used to determine the cause of unexplained pain. CT scanning is fast, painless, noninvasive and accurate.
CT portography is a variation that may be used in patients suspected of having very small liver tumors. Contrast dye is injected through a catheter inserted into the femoral artery in the groin and threaded to the splenic artery, and a newer, faster type of CT scanner is used to examine the liver.
