A member asked:
Will an ovarian cyst show up on an abdominal cat scan?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Likely so, if...: A ct scan is an excellent test to see intra-abdominal/pelvic organs, but just abdominal scan may not go down far enough to completely visualize the ovaries. I suspect if you have trouble in lower abd, the test would be ordered for both abdominal/pelvic ct which sure will see the ovaries.. Best of luck to you.

Maybe: The ovaries are in the pelvis and an abdominal ct frequently will not pick up the ovaries. If there is suspicion of a problem with the ovaries in particular, the best imaging of the ovaries is with a transvaginal ultrasound.
