Overview
An abdominal X-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of ascites. Findings on an abdominal X-ray suggestive of ascites include increased density in abdomen diffusely, lack of shadow differentiation between different soft tissues in abdomen, displacement of intestines and viscera medially, and flank bulging.

An abdominal X-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of ascites. Findings on an abdominal X-ray suggestive of ascites include:[2]
- Increased density in abdomen diffusely
- Lack of shadow differentiation between different soft tissues in abdomen, such as the psoas muscles, liver, and spleen
- Displacement of intestines and viscera medially
- Flank bulging
