Abstract
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
The term acute abdomen refers to any clinical condition characterized
by severe abdominal pain that develops over a period of hours. Rapid and
accurate diagnosis is essential if morbidity and mortality are to be
significantly decreased. The development of cross-sectional imaging has had
a great impact on the diagnosis and treatment of acute abdomen because of
the Clinical assessment is often difficult and laboratory and conventional
radiological findings are often nonspecific.
The aim of this study was to assess the significance of multi detector
computed tomography (MDCT) to diagnose different causes of acute
abdominal pain related to gastro-intestinal tract.
Abdominal pain has multiple causes ranging from benign self-limiting
to life-threatening diseases Some of these causes are Appendicitis,
Pepticulcer, perforated peptic ulcer, Gastroenteritis,Gastritis, Duodenitis,
Inflammatory bowel disease, Meckel diverticulitis, Colitis, Diverticulitis,
intestinal obstruction.
CT is most often indicated in patients with severe abdominal pain
who may require surgery or intervention. It is probably most beneficial in
patients who present with confusing or conflicting clinical signs and
symptoms.
MDCT is a rapid and efficient means of evaluating patients with acute
abdominal pain with its ability to provide a correct diagnosis, attention to
proper technique and protocol was proved to be essential for optimizing the
CT examination and maximizing diagnostic accuracy.
Many traditional emergency imaging procedures have been replaced
with newer MDCT techniques that can be performed in less time and with
