Cell phones do have a plus side, though. They are a college studentâs link to home, family, and friends. College can be scary and a freshman in college usually talks to family up to 13 times a week. This support and need to communicate with parents and other family members is important for a college studentâs success.
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.
In many cases, an abdominal CT is done with a pelvis CT. The scan should take less than 30 minutes. You need to have a special dye, called contrast, put into your body before some exams. Contrast helps certain areas show up better on the x-rays. Contrast can be given through a vein (IV) in your hand or forearm.
