Overview

There are no CT scan findings associated with amenorrhea. However, a CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of the diseases that can cause amenorrhea, such as Turner syndrome, androgen insensitivity syndrome and also anatomic genital defects.

Anatomic genital defects

  • Findings on a CT scan suggestive of septate uterus include:[6]
    • Convex fundal contour
    • Acute angle of < 75% between uterine cavities
