Other Imaging Findings
If the diagnosis remains unclear after basic investigations, such as the patient's history and a physical examination, then more advanced investigations may reveal a diagnosis. These include:
- Barium enema
- Bone scan
- Computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis
- Endoscopy and colonoscopy (not used for diagnosing acute pain)
- Small bowel enema
Acute Abdomen
In cases of ischemic acute abdomen, abdominal radiography will show many air-fluid levels, as well as widespread edema.
