CT Abdomen-Pelvis Report: Indications, Findings, Turnaround
Hybrid AI + body-imaging radiologist intelligence. Reports in 20 minutes. Critical findings escalated immediately.
- What is a CT Abdomen-Pelvis?
- A CT abdomen-pelvis is a cross-sectional computed tomography study covering the diaphragm to the pubic symphysis, typically performed with intravenous (and where indicated, oral or rectal) contrast to evaluate solid organs, bowel, vasculature, lymph nodes, and the urinary tract. Non-contrast variants such as CT-KUB are used for renal-colic workup, while multi-phase studies are used for liver and pancreatic characterisation.
- How long does a CT Abdomen-Pelvis report take with 5C?
- In India, 5C Network's hybrid intelligence workflow delivers structured CT Abdomen-Pelvis reports in an average of 20 minutes, signed off by a body imaging specialist. Emergency cases are prioritised for 15-minute turnaround.
When is a CT Abdomen-Pelvis ordered?
Ordered for acute abdomen workup (appendicitis, pancreatitis, bowel obstruction), renal colic, abdominal trauma, cancer staging, and unexplained weight loss or anaemia. It is also used for follow-up of known abdominal malignancies, evaluation of post-operative complications, and workup of palpable masses or PUO. In Indian emergency departments, CT abdomen-pelvis is a high-volume study driven by acute abdomen and trauma presentations.
How 5C reads a CT Abdomen-Pelvis
Every CT Abdomen-Pelvis on the 5C network is read by AI and a board-certified radiologist — never one without the other. Here's the 4-step workflow.
Bionic AI pre-read
Bionic — 5C's radiology AI trained on 3+ billion medical images — pre-reads the ct and flags findings for the radiologist's attention.
- appendicitis
- acute pancreatitis (peripancreatic stranding, necrosis)
- renal calculi with size + Hounsfield units
- bowel obstruction / ileus
- free intraperitoneal air
- hepatic / splenic lesions
- abdominal aortic aneurysm
- gallstones / cholecystitis
- lymphadenopathy
- solid organ injury (post-trauma)
Radiologist read
An NMC-registered body imaging specialist from 5C's 400+ radiologist network reviews every image, validates or corrects AI findings, and adds clinical context.
- NMC-registered, medico-legally valid in India
- Subspecialty-trained for abdomen / pelvis
- Available 24/7 across India time zones
QA & peer review
Critical and complex CT Abdomen-Pelvis reads get a second-radiologist review. Random sampling across all reads supports continuous QA.
- Double-reading on critical findings
- Audit trail for medico-legal use
- NABH-aligned escalation protocol
Structured report
Signed PDF report delivered to your PACS / RIS / email in an average of 20 minutes from the time of acquisition.
- Structured findings + impression
- 15-minute SLA for emergencies
- Critical-finding phone escalation
What's in a 5C CT Abdomen-Pelvis report
A standard 5C CT Abdomen-Pelvis report is structured to be readable by the referring clinician, the hospital admin reviewing TAT, and any auditor checking NABH compliance.
Clinical history
Captures the indication — acute abdomen, renal colic, trauma, staging, PUO — along with relevant labs, surgical history, and prior imaging for comparison.
Technique
Documents protocol — plain, single-phase contrast, triphasic / quadriphasic liver, CT-KUB, CT urography — slice thickness, contrast volume and phase, and oral / rectal prep where used.
Findings
Structured organ-wise comments on liver, gallbladder and biliary tree, pancreas, spleen, adrenals, kidneys and ureters, bladder, bowel and mesentery, peritoneum, vasculature, lymph nodes, and pelvic organs.
Trauma and acute-abdomen assessment
In emergency studies, the report explicitly addresses solid-organ injury grading, haemoperitoneum, free air, bowel injury, and active contrast extravasation.
Oncology measurements
Where the indication is staging or follow-up, target lesions are measured per RECIST 1.1, with comparison to prior studies and overall response assessment where requested.
Impression
A prioritised summary of clinically actionable findings — appendicitis vs pancreatitis vs obstruction, calculus size and location, tumour stage, or no acute abdominal pathology.
Critical-finding escalation
Free air, AAA, active bleed, high-grade obstruction, or significant solid-organ injury trigger an immediate phone call from the 5C team to the referring clinician, alongside the written report.
