Can you see Ovarian cancer on a xray?
No, you will need a CT (CAT Scan)
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.
If you have a clear CAT scan how can you be in coma?
Something in a CAT scan might explain a coma, but it is not a definitive test. Just because a computer "looks normal" that is no indication that it will run. This is a crude analogy. The CAT scan images tissues. It does not evaluate how those tissues are operating - or not. Though there are a few "clues" to what is going on in a CAT scan, the scan is not the "litmus test" for actual brain operation and function. A CAT scan may be performed as part of the workup to find out why someone is in a coma. It will allow the physicians to determine if there is a "physical" cause or not. If nothing shows up, the cause of the coma must be investigated further. A coma can be a difficult thing to find a cause for.

There are all forms of cancer in cats just like humans. If you feel a lump anywhere on the body of cat the vet will do a cat scan. Doing a complete blood count will also detect anything that maybe going on with your cat. The main thing, be sure you take your pet to the vet for check ups. This is important.

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.
