Abstract

The literary review presents current trends in the use of ultrasound (ultrasound) and multislice computed
tomography (MSCT) in the diagnosis of closed abdominal injuries. During discussing the issues of
sonography, special emphasis is placed on publications devoted to assessing the informativeness of the socalled FAST-protocol («Focused assessment with sonography in trauma»), which is included in the clinical
recommendations of ATLS (Advanced Trauma Life Support), as a mandatory initial diagnostic study of
patients with severe trauma. It is also shown that MSCT is currently considered the gold standard in the
diagnosis of abdominal injuries.
