Abstract:
Currently, CT plays a pivotal role in the evaluation of the patient with an acute abdomen. Several competing techniques have been described and investigated. Each appears to possess advantages and disadvantages which will be examined. Each imaging center needs to modify these protocols to satisfy local scanner availability, patient demographics, radiologic expertise, and economic considerations.
