CT and ultrasound in abscess detection at specific anatomic sites: a study of 198 patients.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Records of 902 patients with possible abdominal abscess were reviewed and of these 198 had abscesses on at least one occasion imaged either with ultrasound (US) or computed tomography (CT). There were 235 episodes of either one or simultaneous multiple abscesses. Sensitivities of CT and US were analyzed according to anatomic site. The nature of errors made was tabulated. CT was significantly more sensitive than US for the detection of abdominal abscess. Causes of CT and US error in abscess detection are discussed, and recommendations regarding choice of exam and means of improving performance are made.
