Imaging of peritoneal pathology.
Advances in the imaging of peritoneal pathology are reviewed. Papers published in the past year in the radiologic, surgical, and pediatric literature discussed the detection, quantification, characterization, and management of fluid collections in the trauma patient or the patient with intra-abdominal sepsis; the assessment of various imaging modalities in the evaluation of unexplained fever or pain; and the detection, characterization, and localization of primary, recurrent, or metastatic abdominal neoplasms.
