Overview

The computed tomography scan or CAT scan, is an x-ray test that makes detailed cross-sectional images. A CT scan can provide information about the size, shape, and position of a tumor, and can be helpful to see if the cancer has spread to other organs. It can also help find enlarged lymph nodes that might have cancer cells.

CT Scan

Vaginal tumors generally are best seen on T2 imaging, and instilling gel into the vaginal canal, which distends the vaginal walls, often aids in visualizing and assessing the thickness of the vaginal tumor. CT scan can also be helpful for evaluating the primary vaginal tumor and abnormal lymph nodes[1][2][3][4].
