The acute abdomen is one of the most frequent causes for presentation to the emergency department. Imaging plays an important role for an accurate diagnosis, which in turn diminishes morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to demonstrate optimum CT aspects and emphasize on the important features of CT for those patients presenting with an acute abdominal pain at the Emergency Department both in general and in a number of selected conditions (appendicitis, small-bowel obstruction, acute pancreatitis, and diverticulitis). The reported data by this study are based on the author working experience, which forms a continuous protocol adjustment process. The present study provides evidence that CT would result in definite diagnosis of patients with abdominal pain in terms of the detection of some urgent conditions.

“…Они, как правило, однородной консистенции и сосредоточены в правом нижнем квадранте брыжейки тонкой кишки [19,49,50]. Установлено, что в норме диа-метр брыжеечных лимфоузлов по короткой оси в сред-нем составляет 3,6 мм (от 3 до 6 мм) с наибольшими узлами со средним диаметром 4,8 мм (от 3 до 9 мм) [51].…”

“…Due to the impact of crosssectional imaging, the need for plain abdominal radiographs has declined (Kellow et al 2008). Although ultrasonography (US) has gained widespread acceptance for evaluating the gallbladder in affected patients and the pelvis in children and women of reproductive age, CT is considered to be one of the most valued tools for triaging patients with acute abdominal pain (Mindelzun and Jeffrey 1997;Novelline et al 1999;Gore et al 2000;Rosen et al 2000;Urban and Fishman 2000). In recent years, most emergency centers have been equipped with newer helical CT scanners that permit imaging procedures to be performed in less time, with greater accuracy, and with less patient discomfort.…”
