The advent of grey-scale ultrasound has made this facility an irreplaceable tool for diagnostic imaging techniques. Although well established in obstetric management, its application to abdominal "body" scanning is not yet fully realized and accepted. These case presentations demonstrate the role of ultrasound in the diagnosis, localization and clinical management of patients with intra-abdominal sepsis. It is emphasized that ultrasound should be used early in the work-up of such problems and is rapidly becoming the investigation of choice. The diagnostic information provided facilitates management, reduces the need for complex investigations and occasionally makes surgery unnecessary.
灰阶超声的出现使这一设备成为诊断成像技术中不可替代的工具。尽管其在产科管理中已得到充分应用，但其在腹部“躯体”扫描中的应用尚未得到充分认识和接受。这些病例报告展示了超声在腹腔内脓毒症患者的诊断、定位及临床管理中的作用。需要强调的是，对于此类问题，应在检查初期就使用超声，并且它正迅速成为首选的检查方法。所提供的诊断信息有助于管理，减少了进行复杂检查的必要性，而且偶尔还可避免手术。
