Brief Answer:
abdominal ct scan and normal ct scan are same

Detailed Answer:
Hi

An abdominal CT scan is an imaging method that uses x rays to create cross sectional pictures of the organs, vessels, and bones in the abdominal cavity.

A normal CT scan and abdominal CT scan are the same thing.

If your abdominal CT scan 1 month back was normal then you are not suffering from colon cancer and you do not need to worry.

DR De
