Is a cat scan safe?

Yeah, a cat scan is pretty much safe. I say 'pretty much' because the ionizing rays cat scans apply can cause DNA which can lead to cancer. Same as X-rays. However, this is very rare, and your doctor would only give you a cat scan/X-ray if he thought you really needed one. What I'm saying here is that, for all practical purposes, cat scans are safe.

They are just as they say. An abdominal cat scan is just of that area and a pelvic cat scan is just of that area. Usually if an abdominal cat scan is ordered a pelvis is included so as to cover all things in both areas but if a pelvic cat scan is ordered it usually does not include the abdomen.
