What is the best initial imaging test in women with acute pelvic pain?

If the patient is not pregnant and a gastrointestinal cause is suspected, perform a computed tomography scan of the abdomen and pelvis with intravenous contrast. Ultrasonography should be considered a low-risk first imaging modality to evaluate for possible appendicitis.
