What it is

A CT scan of the pelvis with contrast uses X-rays and an injected iodine dye to make detailed pictures of the pelvic organs, bones and blood vessels. It may be used to look for causes of pelvic pain, masses or infection.

What the price covers

The hospital price usually covers the scan. The radiologist's reading is often billed separately, and the contrast dye may be listed as a separate pharmacy charge.
