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.
Your doctor has requested a computed tomography scan (CT or CAT) of your abdomen and pelvis. CT scans use X-ray technology and advanced computer analysis to create detailed pictures of your body. A CT acan of the abdomen and pelvis can help diagnose problems in the bladder, uterus, prostate, liver or bowels. Cedars-Sinai's S. Mark Taper Foundation Imaging Center has a team of specialists who focus on taking and interpreting CT scans.
