Abstract
Patients with abdominal and/or pelvic pain are commonly encountered in the emergency department and throughout all of the primary care and specialty clinics. The imaging assessment of these patients depends upon their clinical presentation (acute vs. chronic pain, point tenderness vs. generalized discomfort), laboratory data (elevation of liver function tests, serum amylase, white cell count, hematocrit), age, gender, and frequently the availability of the various diagnostic imaging tests.
