Can uterus appear present on cat scan following hysterectomy?

Yes, a uterus can sometimes appear on a CT scan following a hysterectomy, particularly if residual tissue remains or if there are anatomical variations. Additionally, imaging may show changes or scarring in the pelvic area that could be mistaken for uterine tissue. However, a properly performed hysterectomy usually results in the absence of the uterus in imaging studies. It's important for radiologists to correlate findings with the patient's surgical history for accurate interpretation.
