Overview
Other diagnostic studies for localizing tumor of small intestine cancer include ultrasound, fluoroscopy and barium follow through x-rays.
Other Imaging Findings
Fluoroscopy
- According to some publications, upper GI series seem to be the most accurate diagnostic modalities for small-bowel carcinomas.
- Upper GI shows features of mucosal pattern distortion, obliteration and narrowing. Delayed images may show hold up of barium at the site of the lesion.
Barium x-rays
- This is an x-ray test that a person is given a medication that will temporarily slow bowel movement, so structures can be more easily seen on the x-rays.
- For this test, the patient drinks a substance called barium.
- X-ray method called fluroscopy tracks how the barium moves through your esophagus, stomach, and small intestine. Pictures are taken in a variety of positions.
- It includes upper GI series, enteroclysis and a barium enema.
