[Ultrasound of acute abdomen].
Der Internist 2003 May
Ultrasound is an important tool in the diagnosis of acute abdominal pain, which is mainly caused by gastrointestinal diseases. This article gives an overview on the important differential diagnosis related to pain localization. Sonomorphological signs and their sensitivity and specificity are discussed. In contrast to other imaging methods ultrasound is hand guided. The present article differentiates the diagnostic capability of ultrasonic diagnosis depending on technical equipment and sonographer's educational level. These facts are important to stabilize the position of ultrasound in the ensemble of other imaging methods. The use of mobile ultrasound machines and an improved training (e.g. by computer assisted sonosimulator systems) will lead to an increasing importance of ultrasound.
