A member asked:
Would an ovarian cyst show up on a pelvic ct scan?

Likely to see cyst: We can see pelvic pathology fairly well on ct scans, including cysts, but as cysts are usually fluid filled, ultrasounds are better at visualizing those types of structures so that might be better test for you.

See answer: While ct can certainly identify an ovarian cyst, usually endovaginal us is better suited for this purpose.
