    Purpose: The purpose of our study was to evaluate the results of CT findings in patientsadmitted to the emergency service with acute abdominal pain.Methods: In last one year, 270 patients who admitted to our hospital’s emergency servicewith acute abdominal pain were included. Clinical datas and CT images were interpretedretrospectively. Patients had penetrating or blunt abdominal injury were excluded.Results: 270 patients with acute abdomen (129 men and 141 women, 18-93 years-old) wereanalyzed retrospectively. In 81 patients (30%) no abnormal finding was found. The mostcommon pathologic finding was urolithiasis in 54 patients (20%).Conclusion: CT is a fast, effective and reliable diagnostic method to clear up the cause ofacute abdominal pain. Because there is no pathological CT finding in one-third of the patients,diagnostic algorithm must be followed and CT examination should be performed withappropriate techniques, protocols and optimization of dose
