Normal anatomy of the Abdomen, pathology and Radiological findings of abdominal pain is discussed. Acute Abdomen is an emergency disease with acute abdominal pain as the main feature. Through severe diseases in intra-Abdominal, extra pelvic and retroperitoneal tissues and organs, symptoms and clinical signs led by abdominal pain are formed. The aim of this work is to demonstrate the value of the Radiological examination in the diagnosis of Pain or obstructiveabdominal diseases.Radiologically the patients are subjected to go through various examinations viz CXR PA view, USG Abd, X Ray Abdomen(Supine AP, lateral, Standing AP), MDCT Abdomen along with some lab tests.In Plain chest x-ray can see the any Chest infection or level of domes of diaphragm etc. In the plain abdomen supine Radiography can visualised any stone and the fluid levels or any perforation etc. In case the plain erect radiographyof abdomen can see the any fluid level of air to see theobstruction. Normal X rays still have their greater advantage in clinical findings but are less sensitive. They are still the best studies for normal screening and in the detection of calculi and various obstructions. Ultrasound playsa significant role in determining the anatomical variants and is considered as the first line imaging modality of choice for emergency abdominal evaluation. Multi Detector Computed Tomography has become the imaging modality of choice for complicated disease courses and also for some inflammatory processes, not only in adults but also in children. Indications like Pancreatitis, Abscesses, Liver cirrhosis, Flank pain, inflammatory bowel diseases, chronic obstructions etc. are diagnosed well on a MDCT. Computed Tomography has been also considered the ideal first choice for hospitalised patients in whom abdominal infection is suspected.MRI also plays a great role in achieving diagnosis of Pancreatitis and the visualisation of biliary anatomy and calculi.
