Pelvic computed tomography (CT) refers to the imaging and observation of anatomical and supporting components in the pelvic region. It allows the visualization of bones, organs, blood vessels, soft tissues, and spaces within the pelvis. Using this method, radiologists can accurately diagnose complications like traumas, tumors, infections, and urinary and bowel problems.
Listed below are the types of pelvic CT studies reported:
Non-Contrast Pelvis CT
This is a standard type of CT for the examination and analysis of the anatomical structures in the pelvis. It is an effective tool in the diagnosis of tissue differentiation, calcifications, urinary tract stones, pelvic fractures, etc.
CT Urography
A CT Urography is a specialized type of CT scan focusing on the imaging of the urinary tract. Complications like hematuria, urothelial tumors, and other urinary tract abnormalities can be diagnosed using CT Urography.
CT Cystography
This method is optimized with a contrast-enhancing agent directly instilled into the bladder via a Foley catheter. CT cystography is useful in the diagnosis of bladder trauma, bladder rupture, and other bladder injuries.
Pelvis CT is used to diagnose a number of conditions, as explained below:
Pelvic ring fractures
Retroperitoneal bleeding
Acetabular fractures
Bladder rupture
Sacral and coccygeal fractures
Active arterial bleeding
Pubic symphysis diastasis
Active arterial bleeding
Bladder tumors
Postoperative urinary leaks
Bladder wall thickening
Ureteric calculi
Bladder rupture or leak
Rectal and sigmoid colon tumors
Appendicitis
Diverticulitis
Pelvic sepsis
Ischemic bowel changes
Bowel perforation
The detailed workflow involved in the reporting of pelvic CT scans is explained below:
The pelvic CT scan procedure is performed on-site by the technician.
Once the images are obtained, these are sent to Statim along with the patient’s clinical information.
After this information arrives at Statim, the case is allocated to the respective radiologist.
The radiologist correlates the clinical information of the patient with the pelvic CT images to put forth a diagnosis.
After determining the etiology, the radiologist prepares a report which consists of interpretation and conclusion of the CT scan
The report is then electronically signed and sent to the hospital using the hospital PACS/RIS or a secure email delivery system.
Often, patients reporting to the medical centers have critical conditions and need intervention immediately. During after-working hours, due to a lack of radiologists on-site, treatments might be delayed. With the help of pelvis CT reporting, these delays can be mitigated. Radiologists interpret the results remotely and rapidly deliver the diagnostic results.
The following types of institutions use pelvic CT reporting services:
Emergency and trauma care hospitals
Multispecialty hospitals
Cancer hospitals
Private and public hospitals
Diagnostic and imaging centres
Urology and nephrology specialty centres
