AbstractThe aim of this article is to review the imaging modalities to be performed in patients with acute diffuse upper abdominal pain. Conventional radiography, ultrasound and computerized tomography (CT) are most often used in this setting. The choice of the initial imaging technique will depend from the localization of the pain and the probability of a particular pathology in the involved area.
