    Plain abdominal radiographs and ultrasonography are effective for diagnosing abdominal abscesses in most cases. Computed tomography is reserved for unclear situations and surgical planning, optimizing imaging use.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Abdominal Imaging
    • Diagnostic Procedures

    Background:

    • Abdominal abscesses require accurate radiological assessment for effective management.
    • A stepwise approach to imaging can improve diagnostic efficiency and patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To establish a rational and stepwise use of imaging procedures for abdominal abscesses.
    • To evaluate the diagnostic utility of different radiological modalities.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of radiological findings in 56 patients with abdominal abscesses.
    • Systematic evaluation of plain radiography, ultrasonography, contrast medium examinations, and computed tomography.

    Main Results:

    • Plain abdominal radiographs offer significant diagnostic possibilities and are practical first-line investigations.

  • Combining plain radiography with ultrasonography achieves a diagnostic rate of nearly 90%.
  • Contrast medium examinations have limited diagnostic value, while computed tomography is crucial for complex or unresolved cases.

    • Conclusions:

    • A stepwise imaging strategy, starting with plain radiography and ultrasonography, is recommended for abdominal abscess diagnosis.
    • Computed tomography plays a vital role in managing ambiguous cases and guiding surgical interventions.
    • This approach optimizes the use of radiological resources in diagnosing abdominal abscesses.
