  • Title: [Imaging of acute abdomen. Contribution of new radiological methods and practices].
    Author: Schmutz GR.
    Journal: Union Med Can; 1992; 121(6):358-65. PubMed ID: 1481295.
    Abstract:
    The acute abdomen is a sudden clinicoradiologic problem that may be resolved promptly by an excellent collaboration between the referring physician and the radiologist. The advent of CT and US has modified the diagnostical approach of acute abdomen. As diagnosis should be assessed in the shortest time with the greatest care and accuracy, it is necessary to choose the appropriate available examinations, reducing the time needed to establish a diagnosis and decreasing the number of examinations required. Thus, this paper is geared toward the determination and the choice of the more accurate procedure for the clinical presentation of acute abdominal emergencies.
