What is the difference between a body cat scan and a general cat scan?
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.

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.
