The acute abdomen is characterized by acute abdominal pain with defensive muscular tension, can be triggered by a variety of diseases and sometimes represents a life-threatening condition. After clinical inspection, in most cases dedicated imaging should be performed immediately. The frequently causal appendicitis and cholecystitis can mostly be diagnosed with ultrasound. In other cases with unclear ultrasound findings or unclear severe symptoms, computer tomography (CT) is usually necessary without delay. In contrast, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is predominantly indicated in pregnant women and children with unclear ultrasound findings. Thus, the radiologist is an important gatekeeper in the diagnostics of acute abdomen. The radiologist should therefore be familiar with the correct imaging indications, the frequent and rare causes as well as the corresponding morphological imaging characteristics.
