Computed body tomography and gray scale ultrasonography: anatomic correlations and pitfalls in the upper abdomen.
From over 1,000 computed body tomographic and 10,000 gray scale ultrasonographic studies of the abdomen, a number of close anatomic relationships leading to the commonest pitfalls in diagnosis are reviewed. Scanning techniques developed to prevent interpretive errors are described.
