The purpose of this study was to illustrate how ultrasonography may be used to identify sudden abdominal pain. From December 2021 and March 2022, a comprehensive examination of 50 patients with acute abdominal pain was conducted. Seven hospitals in Khartoum State, Sudan, examined individuals with clinically suspected abdominal and pelvic deformities using 3.5 MHz ultrasound machines. Out of the 50 (100%) patients who were presented with acute abdominal pain 10 (20%) were appendicitis, 9 (18%) were cholecystitis, 8 (16%) were Nephrolithiasis, 3 (6%) were Choledocholithiasis, 3 (6%) were Chronic kidney disease, 3 (6%) were Cholelithiasis, 3 (6%) were Cystitis, 4 (8%) were Ascites, 1 (2%) was acute kidney injury, 1 (2%) was Acute Peritonitis, 1 (2%) was Diverticulum and 1 (2%) each was of Epigastric hernia, Hepatosplenomegaly, Liver cirrhosis, Nephritis and Ovarian cysts respectively. According to the study results, ultrasonography (US) proceeds to be the go-to imaging strategy in most situations, particularly for younger and female patients, where limiting exposure to radiation must be obligated. The application of Computerized Tomography CT should be restricted in circumstances where there is no diagnostic US and, in all situations, where there is a significant disparity between medical symptoms and negative imaging in the US.展开更多
