Overview

An x-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of intussusception. Plain x-ray abdomen of patient are done in supine and upright position. Findings on an x-ray suggestive of/diagnostic of intussusception include absence of air in right lower quadrant and right upper quadrant, soft tissue density in right upper quadrant in 25-60% of patients, and normal in 60% of cases.

-An [[x-ray]] of the abdomen may be indicated for evaluation of intestinal obstruction or the presence of free intraperitoneal gas; the latter finding would imply that bowel perforation has already occurred. In some institutions, air [[enema]] is used for diagnosis as the same procedure can be used for treatment.

+** Normal in 60% of cases.
-*Dilated small bowel and absence of gas in the region of the cecum.
+** Absence of air in right lower quadrant and right upper quadrant.
-*Occasionally, a mass impression within the colonic gas indicates an intraluminal mass created by the intussuscepting loop
+** Soft tissue density in right upper quadrant in 25-60% of patients.
