abstract: A prospective study with 466 patients demonstrated high value of sonography in combination with radiological methods in acute diagnosis of the abdomen. It is shown that sonography and radiology complement each other excellently. In 23% of the cases the examination, which resembles screening, indicates the quickest and most economic way through diagnostic procedures. The rate of failure is 3% only.
