Imaging Techniques
Imaging techniques are used when the doctor needs to look for growth in the body, which could be a cancerous mass or bleeding that would cause anemia. There are many options available. Based on the results from your physical exam and blood test, the doctor will decide which one to use. A CT or pelvic ultrasound can search for bladder or uterine problems, which can trigger anemia. A magnetic resonance imaging or abdominal computerized tomography can take detailed pictures of your abdomen to identify bleeding or growths. [4]
