Overview
Other Imaging Findings
In cases where the source of bleeding is unidentified after upper endoscopy, the utilization of subsequent diagnostic modalities depends upon the hemodynamic stability of the patient. Other diagnostic studies include:[1][2][3]
- CT angiography
- Catheter angiography
- Radionuclide imaging
