Abdominal sonography is a key diagnostic tool for acute abdomen cases. This study evaluates its applications in acute patients, including trauma and gastrointestinal diseases, and discusses interventional roles.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Diagnostic Ultrasound
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Abdominal sonography is the preferred diagnostic method for acute abdominal conditions.
  • Over 1200 examinations were analyzed to assess sonography's utility in acute settings.
  • The study focuses on both traumatic and non-traumatic acute abdominal pathologies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the application and effectiveness of abdominal sonography in patients with acute abdomen.
  • To present a diagnostic algorithm for trauma patients based on sonographic findings.
  • To discuss the therapeutic potential of interventional sonography in acute abdominal conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Review of over 1200 consecutive abdominal sonography examinations in acute abdomen patients.
