PELVIS CT ANATOMY · AXIAL CT

Pelvis CT anatomy

Pelvic CT anatomy ties together bone, vessels and organs in a small space. Practise naming the structures on real axial CT slices — the fastest way to make pelvic anatomy stick. Free, no account needed.

Try it now — read the slice, name the arrowed structure:

Which anatomical structure is arrowed?

Single answer — type the structure

corpus callosum

Correct — corpus callosum

Bony landmarks

The pelvic ring — iliac bones, sacrum, acetabula and pubic symphysis — orients every study. Read from the iliac crests down to the ischial tuberosities.

Vessels and organs

Follow the iliac vessels as they divide, then place the bladder, rectum and the sex-specific organs around them. Bowel loops fill the remaining space.

Contrast and planes

Contrast highlights the iliac vessels and organ enhancement; coronal and sagittal reformats clarify the bladder, uterus or prostate. Knowing the plane helps you name structures.

Keep practising by region

Move through the rest of cross-sectional anatomy one region at a time — brain and abdominal CT, cardiac MRI and more — and let each explanation fix the structure in memory.
