The goals of this book are to help the reader acquire good techniques for making and interpreting radiographs of the abdomen, and to give the reader a good basic knowledge of special procedures available to gain additional diagnostic information. Although ultrasonography has added immeasurable diagnostic capability, abdominal radiography frequently can yield additional information by providing a panoramic view of the abdomen and by allowing examination of tissues hidden from the ultrasound beam by bone or gas.
