title: [Diagnosis of intra-abdominal abscess using various imaging techniques].
abstract: Basing on the material of 24 patients with intra-abdominal abscesses an analysis was performed of the diagnostic value of different imaging techniques. It has been shown that in acute conditions without focal changes CT is the technique of choice since it covers the whole abdominal cavity. Ultrasound, however, is a method mainly useful in monitoring the dynamics of the disease course.
