[Acute abdomen : What does the nonradiologist expect from the radiologist?]

CONCLUSION: The emergency radiologic diagnostic workup of acute abdomen has to be targeted and the radiologist must answer the questions in order to clarify whether an operation is indicated and to help define the surgical strategy. In emergency surgery as in acute abdomen extended diagnostics to reach a decision is a dangerous waste of time and must be avoided at all costs. Therefore close communication with the radiologist is crucial. PMID: 32052115 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
