Inflammatory and tumorous changes in the upper abdomen (liver, pancreas, spleen, kidneys) and lower abdomen (uterus, ovaries, urinary bladder) can be depicted with this type of scan. Pathological changes of the lymph nodes can also be visualised. Special 3D images of the large intestine (mucous membrane polyps, tumours) offer an important alternative to colonoscopies.
