  • Title: Role of CT in the acute nontraumatic abdomen.
    Author: Taourel P, Pradel J, Fabre JM, Cover S, Senéterre E, Bruel JM.
    Journal: Semin Ultrasound CT MR; 1995 Apr; 16(2):151-64. PubMed ID: 7794605.
    Abstract:
    The diagnostic workup of the acute abdomen always begins with a precise clinical history, a complete physical examination, and careful reading of plain films. Commonly performed additional imaging studies include contrast examination and, more recently, ultrasound. CT offers the advantage of allowing a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation of both solid and hollow viscera in neoplastic as well as in inflammatory and vascular disorders.
