Overview
X-ray images can be taken after barium swallow to see the lesions in small intestine.
Abdominal X Ray
- X-ray is used to visualize GI tract with or without barium swallow. But these images are not very revealing.[1]
- X-ray films are taken after Barium swallow and Barium enema to visualize the lesion of intestine but they are not sensitive at detecting small intestinal cancer until very advanced stage.
- 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.
- In case of very advance tumor causing obstruction of small intestine, X-ray film can show typical "step ladder" pattern of air in obstruction.
