Assessing the Diagnostic Accuracy of Contrast-enhanced Computed Tomography in Acute Abdominal Cases: A Cross-sectional Study

Abstract

Background: Acute abdomen is one of the most common causes of visits to the Emergency Department (ED). The clinicians favour radiological examinations to reach the proper final diagnosis after thorough physical examinations, lab investigations, and clinical interpretation. One of the most common reasons people visit the emergency department (ED) is for an acute abdomen. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) imaging helps avoid needless surgery or postponed medical therapy.
