This is a clinical variant of 'abdomen' and relates to the 'abdomen proper' cavity which is defined as the abdominopelvic cavity and content, excluding the cavity and content of the true pelvis, plus the anterior and lateral abdominal wall (but excluding the posterior wall of the abdomen proper). This space and content is bounded by, but excludes: superiorly the thoracic diaphragm; inferiorly the superior pelvic aperture; and posteriorly the posterior wall of abdomen proper. Anteriorly this volume is bounded and includes the anterior abdominal (including the lateral abdominal wall). |

This cross-sectional segment is bounded superiorly by a virtual horizontal plane at the level of the junction between T8 and T9 (and thus also includes part of the thoracic volume below this level); and inferiorly it extends to the perineum, including the volume of the true and false pelvic cavities and part but not necessarily the entire external genitalia. The volume includes the entire transverse thickness of the body over the longitudinal extent between the superior (upper) and inferior (lower) boundaries including the skin and subcutaneous tissue. The segment relates to the cross-sectional or projectional volume as perceived by transmissive or emissive imaging. |

Erect plain X-ray of abdomen (procedure) |
Method |
Conventional projectional imaging that uses ionising radiation to produce images of internal structures by sending X-ray beams through the body which are absorbed in different amounts depending on the density of the structure. Plain X-ray uses X-ray alone and does not include more complex acquisition techniques such as fluoroscopy and computed tomography. |

This is considered the most commonly used clinical variant of 'abdomen' and relates to the space and content within the abdominopelvic cavity plus the anterior and lateral abdominal wall. The volume is bounded by, but excludes: superiorly the thoracic diaphragm; inferiorly the pelvic diaphragm; and posteriorly the posterior wall of the abdomen proper: The pelvic component consists of the cavity of the true pelvis, which is bounded by, but excludes, the pelvic wall. Anteriorly this volume is bounded and includes the anterior abdominal (including the lateral abdominal wall). |
