Medical imaging using X-rays.
The CT abdomen-pelvis protocol serves as an outline for an examination of the whole abdomen including the pelvis. It is one of the most common CT protocols for any clinical questions related to the abdomen and/or in routine and emergencies. It forms also an integral part of trauma and oncologic staging protocols and can be conducted as part of other scans such as CT chest-abdomen-pelvis or can be combined with a CT angiogram.
