384-slice CT of pelvis without contrast

384-Slice CT Scan of the Pelvis without Contrast is an advanced imaging examination used to evaluate the pelvic organs and surrounding structures. It is recommended for patients with abdominal or lower back pain, bowel or urinary symptoms, kidney or bladder stones, blood in the urine or stool, pelvic pain, and following trauma such as falls or road traffic accidents. The examination can detect fractures, inflammatory conditions, tumors, congenital abnormalities, intra-abdominal abscesses, and other pelvic disorders.

What is examined?

A non-contrast 384-Slice CT scan of the pelvis provides detailed visualization of the pelvic organs, including portions of the small intestine, the sigmoid colon and rectum, the urinary bladder, and surrounding structures. It also allows assessment of the anatomical relationships between the pelvic organs and helps identify a wide range of pathological changes.

Preparation for the examination

A 384-Slice CT scan of the pelvis without contrast requires special preparation.

1–2 days before the examination:

• Follow a low-residue diet. Avoid high-fiber foods such as cabbage, fresh fruits and vegetables, legumes, whole-grain or rye bread, dairy products, and carbonated beverages.

On the day of the examination:

• Do not eat for 3–4 hours before your appointment. Water is generally allowed unless your physician advises otherwise.

After the examination, patients can immediately resume their normal daily activities unless instructed otherwise by their physician.

Computed Tomography (CT) uses X-rays. Therefore, in accordance with the legislation of the Republic of Moldova, this examination can only be performed with a written medical referral.

If you do not have a referral, you can schedule a consultation at the German Diagnostic Center.

The physician will assess whether the examination is medically indicated and, if appropriate, will issue the referral required for your CT scan.
