Ultrasound and Computed Tomography in Abdominal and Pelvic Diagnoses
Introduction: the major imaging modalities used in diagnosis of pelvic and abdominal conditions ranged from X-ray, ultrasonography, computed tomography and many more. In each different kind of disorder; a different modality is preferred based on the nature of disease, the patient and the hospital where the management is provided. Some conditions require more than one source of imaging. Aim of the work: this study aimed to discuss various abdominal and pelvic pathologies separately to explore the preferred type of imaging modality. Methodology: we conducted this review using a comprehensive search of MEDLINE, PubMed and EMBASE from January 1994 to March 2017. The following search terms were used: ultrasound versus CT, acute abdomen imaging, abdominal radiology and pelvic pain diagnosis Conclusion: various disorders and conditions required different modality of imaging and a health care provider must be well informed of the benefits and risks and be able to weigh in order to make use of the most appropriate imaging technique.
