title: Computed tomography of the retroperitoneal space.
abstract: Computed body tomography is an easily accomplished method that precisely displays the normal and pathologic anatomy of the retroperitoneal space. Suspected retroperitoneal disorders, which are often clinically confusing or obscure, can now be detected or excluded with remarkable accuracy. Few innovations in radiology have more effectively fulfilled such a conspicuous need.
