1 Is Oral Contrast Necessary for Multidetector Computed Tomography Imaging of Patients With Acute Abdominal Pain?  Abdullah Alabousi, MD, Michael N. Patlas, MD, FRCPC, Niv Sne, MD, FRCSC, Douglas S. Katz, MD, FACR, FASER  Canadian Association of Radiologists Journal  Volume 66, Issue 4, Pages (November 2015) DOI: /j.carj Copyright © 2015 Canadian Association of Radiologists Terms and Conditions

2 Figure 1 (A) A 75-year-old female presented with abdominal pain and distension. A computed tomography (CT) scan was ordered to rule out small bowel obstruction. Initial axial abdominal CT with intravenous (IV) but without oral contrast demonstrates a partial small bowel obstruction. (B) Follow-up axial abdominal CT with oral and IV contrast demonstrates interval resolution of the partial small bowel obstruction.

3 Figure 2 (A) A 62-year-old male patient presented with right sided abdominal pain. A computed tomography (CT) scan was ordered to rule out appendicitis/cholecystitis. Initial axial abdominal CT with intravenous (IV) but without oral contrast demonstrates ascending colon inflammation. (B) Follow-up axial abdominal CT with oral and IV contrast demonstrates interval improvement.
