Abdominal emergencies present with various clinical signs from pain to collapse or vomiting. Targeted use of abdominal imaging allows the clinician to make a timely diagnosis to initiate early therapy - as well as spend your owners money sensibly. This lecture will cover radiography, point of care ultrasound and the indications for computed tomography. By the end of the session, you will be able to reason the indications for various imaging modalities, learn a structured way to gain images and interpret these images. All this will be through a case-based approach.
