Background Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is widely used to diagnose acute abdominal pain; however, it remains unclear which pulse sequence has priority in acute abdominal pain. Purpose To investigate the diagnostic accuracy of MRI and to assess the conspicuity of each pulse sequence for the diagn...
