What intraabdominal processes are best visualized on ultrasound rather than CT?

  • Biliary and ovarian
  • Biliary and perirectal
  • Gastric and hepatic
  • Hepatic and splenic
  • Ovarian and small bowel

Answer: Biliary and ovarian.
Ultrasonography is more sensitive in detecting biliary pathology, which can be more subtle on CT scans, as well as assessing for flow in ovarian torsion.
