Computed tomography (CT) scan is a noninvasive X-ray to view the anatomical structures within the brain to detect blood in or around the brain. A newer technology called CT angiography involves the injection of contrast into the blood stream to view the arteries of the brain. This type of test provides the best pictures of blood vessels through ...
It is a special x-ray procedure using dye to look at the womb and fallopian tubes. [2] In this procedure, a radio-opaque material is injected into the cervical canal, and radiographs are taken. A normal result shows the filling of the uterine cavity and the bilateral filling of the fallopian tube with the injection material.

CT images of the head are used to investigate and diagnose brain injuries and other neurological conditions, as well as other conditions involving the skull or sinuses; it used to guide some brain surgery procedures as well. [2] CT scans expose the person getting them to ionizing radiation which has a risk of eventually causing cancer; some ...
X-ray CT scans take many X-ray measurements from different angles to produce virtual "slices" of specific areas of a scanned object that can then be reassembled into a complete image of the object. Such scans can detect tumors by the swelling and anatomical distortion they cause, or by surrounding edema. While CT scans are widely available and ...
Superior hypogastric plexus block/neurolysis: A procedure performed to manage refractory abdominal/pelvis pain by modulating the superior hypogastric plexus, which is a network of nerve fibers located in the retroperitoneum that modulate pain from the bladder, vulva, vagina, uterus, urethra, penis, perineum, prostate, testes, rectum, and colon.
