A member asked:
If i had an abdominal ct to rule out kidney stones would it show my ovaries and if there were any tumors or deformities on my ovaries?

Probably not: A stone-protocol CT (that's what they call it) looks specifically at the kidneys and ureters, the tubes that lead to the bladder. If there were a large tumor of the ovary it might show, but this CT is very focused for kidney stones. If there is a concern about the ovaries, ultrasound of the ovaries is the first step in imaging. Hope that helps.

Possibly: CT scan of the abdomen/pelvis without IV contrast, renal stone protocol may show overt ovary and abnormality, depending on mm of slice. However, transvaginal ultrasound is more sensitive in evaluating ovarian abnormality.

It depends: Many CT scans done for kidney stones are done without IV contrast dye so that the stone--bright on a CT scan--can be seen. However this makes other findings like tumors and infections sometimes harder to see. If you have concern for ovarian issues, ask your doctor to specifically review the CT scan with the radiologist about this issue and if need be, have further imaging done if indicated.
