[Diagnosis of disorders affecting hollow intra-abdominal organs].
Modern imaging methods, including ultrasonography, computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, add considerably to the information provided by the classical exploratory methods for hollow intra-abdominal viscera. They evaluate the size of these viscera and especially their wall and they are particularly useful when the lesion is transparietal, submucosal or even sub-adventitial. They also detect abscesses originating in the gastrointestinal tract, measure the extent of tumoral expansion beyond the mucosa and reveal intra-abdominal abnormalities associated with the lesions. The new methods, therefore, are very useful and often indispensable as a complement to other methods used to explore the digestive tract.
