CT detection and aspiration of abdominal abscesses

Haaga JR, RJ Alfidi, TR Havrilla, AM Cooperman, FE Seidelmann, NE Reich, AJ Weinstein, and TF Meaney

Computed tomography (CT) is effective in detecting intraabdominal abscesses. Loculations of fluid and extraluminal gas are clearly localized in relation to other organs. Of 22 abscess in this series, CT successfully detected 20; comparative information with gallium, techneticum, and ultrasound scans is presented. In addition to localizing these collections, CT can be used to guide needle aspiration and drainage procedures. Three sizes of needles were used to aspirate specimens and/or provide drainage. This was accomplished successfully in 12 of 14 CT-guided procedures.
