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.

Mri of the body... Or a cat scan of the head
A CAT scan can be used for the entire body.
Im sure they can, but I doubt anyone has bothered to verify it. Imagine a tiny fish's head being placed into a tiny CAT scanner with scan parameters designed to scan a fish head...
Usually if a pelvis only is ordered then the DR is looking for something in particular, such as a fractured hip or ovarian cyst or someting else specific to the pelvis only.
