Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Diagnostic ultrasonography is the most appropriate diagnostic imaging modality for further evaluation of acute abdomen in a woman. It is non-invasive, can be done quickly, and does not use ionizing radiation, making it a safe option for pregnant women. Decubitus abdominal radiography is less sensitive and less specific than ultrasonography, while magnetic resonance imaging and angiography may not be readily available and are more invasive, requiring contrast administration.
