The goal of this chapter is not to provide a comprehensive review of this complex topic, but to present a general imaging approach to the problem and to discuss seven of the most frequently encountered and illustrative etiologies. The single most common etiology of acute abdominal pain is functional and has no specific therapy; however, other conditions do warrant urgent medical or surgical therapy. These include peptic ulcer disease, cholecystitis, pancreatitis, intestinal obstruction, appendicitis, diverticulitis, urinary tract infection, and diseases of the female reproductive tract. Before discussing these entities, let us briefly examine several important radiographic findings that may be present in patients presenting with an acute abdomen.
