Special Collection | Sonography of the visceral abdominal vessels
Abdominal pain is one of the most common reasons patients present for ultrasound examination, often leading sonographers to investigate familiar causes such as appendicitis, cholecystitis, diverticulitis and bowel obstruction.
But what happens when the answer isn't obvious?
This collection explores the often-overlooked role of the visceral abdominal vasculature in the assessment of abdominal pain. Through expert insights and case-based learning, discover how vascular pathology can contribute to patient symptoms, the sonographic features to recognise, and the importance of considering these less common diagnoses when routine findings are inconclusive.
