[Which imaging in acute abdominal pain management?].
Acute abdominal pain is a frequent consultation cause with large causal diversity and possible severity that may lead to emergency surgery. Radiology development and availability have changed their management with possibility of rapid diagnostic. Computed tomography has become the gold standard in this setting, reducing AAS to very few indications. Ultrasound remains the first exploration for children and pregnant woman. Magnetic resonance imaging may be more attractive in the future, thanks to its lack of radiation.
