Abstract
Abdominal pain remains one of the more challenging areas of medicine. The accurate clinical assessment of abdominal pain remains one of the more challenging areas of medicine. The variety of conditions that require emergent medical management, and often surgical management, vary widely in clinical presentation and physical examination and laboratory analysis findings. In patients with abdominal pain, CT has been shown to increase the referring physician’s level of certainty in the diagnosis, reduce hospital admission rates, and help guide the therapeutic strategy, including surgical intervention. The study was conducted on 30 adult patients presented by intermittent attacks of abdominal pain referred to the Radiodiagnosis . the study included 11 males (36,6%) and 19 females (63,3%) with female to male ratio 1.8:1. Our youngest patient was 18 years old female while the oldest patient was 77 years old male with a mean of 49 years. The aim of the work is to assess the role of multidetector computed tomographic imaging in diagnosis of different causes of intermittent abdominal pain. All patients were subjected to full history taking, clinical examination and MDCT examination of the abdomen and pelvis which performed for all patients using: Philips (16 and 64 slice) machines. After choice of the adequate CT protocol and scan parameters for each patient, pre and post (IV) contrast CT studies were done, The MDCT images were reconstructed using filtered reconstruction algorithms to be viewed in axial, sagittal and coronal planes.
