Clinical Applications of CT Scans in the Human Female Pelvis

Abstract

Rosa Coolen

CT (computed tomography) scans of the human female pelvis are a valuable tool for studying the structure and function of the female pelvic region. The pelvis is a complex structure that consists of several bones, including the sacrum, coccyx, and two hip bones (also called the innominate bones). In females, the pelvis is shaped differently than in males to accommodate the passage of the baby during childbirth. Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of the human female pelvis using CT scans is a valuable tool for understanding the anatomy and morphology of the pelvis. CT scans are a type of medical imaging that can produce detailed 3D images of the human body, allowing researchers and clinicians to examine the structure and function of various organs and tissues.
