Article abstract: Introduction & Objective: Diagnostic difficulties in decision making for patients with acute abdomen always have made surgeons to utilize Paraclinical instruments for making better diagnosis. Ultrasonography with high diagnostic ability, is cheap, non invasive and one of the powerful instruments. The purpose of this study is to consider its diagnostic value by comparison of ultrasonigraphic and post-operational Finings.
Materials & Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. 220 patients with acute abdomen underwent ultrasonography. Patients were chosen from two hospitals Fatemi and Sabalan. To collect information, question sheets were used.

Laboratory finings for most of patients were normal laboratory Findings. Finally, most of reported cases with cholecystitis and appendicitis (87.5%) were led to correct diagnosis during the operation.
Conclusions: It seems that most of sonographic diagnoses reports were consistent with operational findings. Thus, it is suggested that in patients with acute abdomen which face with diagnostic problem, ultrasonography can be used as a useful tool.
