title: [Abdominal abscess--diagnostic progress via sonography and computed tomography].
abstract: Remarkable progress in the detection of abdominal abscesses has been achieved in the course of the last few years by sonography and by computed tomography. Successful detection of abscesses depends to a major extent on sufficient knowledge about their formation and spread, especially under postoperative conditions. These problems are, therefore, dealt with first, Typical examples of sonographic and CT findings are then described and discussed.
