Is ct scan carried out before or after surgery ie hysterectomy?

A CT scan may be carried out before surgery, such as a hysterectomy, to assess the condition and extent of the disease, identify any complications, or evaluate surrounding organs. It can help in surgical planning and decision-making. In some cases, a CT scan may also be performed after surgery to monitor for complications or assess the success of the procedure. Ultimately, the timing depends on the specific clinical situation.
