174. Conclusions
• The primary imaging modalities for the abdomen and pelvis are plain
film, ultrasound, and CT.
• Basic anatomic knowledge can improve the diagnostic value of the
radiological imaging.
• Correct use of anatomic terms facilitates communication
with referring clinicians.
• Choice of modality depends upon clinical symptoms, patient age & gender, and
findings on physical exam.
• Mastery of the anatomy within each quadrant can help explain
particular symptoms, clinical presentations, and/or imaging findings.
