A member asked:
Can an abdominal/pelvic ct damage your ovaries, eggs, reproductive organs or effect fertility?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
When used: appropriately for diagnostic imaging, no. Direct radiation to the pelvis could potentially damage an early pregnancy, which is why they always ask you if you are pregnant.
