X-ray images can be taken after barium swallow to see the lesions in small intestine.

X-ray is used to visualize the GIT tract with or without barium swallow.But these images are not very revealing.
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.
