[Efficient procedure for diagnosing abdominal abscesses using imaging technics].
In 56 patients with abdominal abscess typical radiological abscess sings were analized to establish a rational and stepwise use of imaging procedures. Plain radiographs of the abdomen should be carried out at first because of their large diagnostic possibilities and standardized practicability. In addition with ultrasonography the diagnosis is possible in almost 90% of the cases. Contrast medium examination are rarely of diagnostic value. Computed tomography should be used in the remaining unclear cases and for planning of further surgical treatment.
