Upright Abdominal X-ray and Standing
Chest X-ray
If an obstruction or ileus is suspected, an upright
abdominal lm and a standing chest x-ray are ordered. The upright abdominal lm provides a view of
the air/uid levels within the bowel to differentiate

between an obstruction and an ileus. Additionally, if
free air in the abdomen is a concern, the standing image
will demonstrate free air underneath the hemidiaphragm,
which is unable to be seen on the plain abdominal x-ray.
A standing chest image should be viewed using the procedure outlined in Chapter 37. When looking for free air
in the abdomen, pay particular attention to the area under the right diaphragm. Extraluminal free air appears as
a crescent of radiolucent gas between the diaphragm and
the liver, and usually indicates a perforated viscus (see
Figure 38-9).
Left Lateral X-ray
If the patient is too ill to stand, a left lateral x-ray will
be useful in nding free air in the abdomen. In the left
lateral decubitus image, the patient is lying on the left
side for 10 to 15 minutes and a horizontal beam is
used. In this image, small amounts of free air can be
seen over the lateral aspect of the right lobe of
the liver. Often the free air is seen as a dark shadow
between the white of the abdominal wall and the liver
(Figure 38-10).
Additional Causes of Abdominal Pain
Abdominal pain may also be caused by chest pathology
mimicking abdominal pain, for example, pleurisy,
pneumonia, and pleural effusion. A chest x-ray should
be ordered.
What other imaging studies should I consider?
Key Questions (to self)
n What other common imaging studies are available
for the abdomen?
n What imaging studies would give me the best infor-
mation for a particular patient concern?
Upper GI Series
For an upper GI series, the patient drinks a barium solution that passes through the digestive tract and lls
and coats the esophagus, stomach, and rst part of the
small intestine, making them more visible with the
x-ray. A uoroscope is held over the body part being
examined and transmits continuous images to a video
monitor. This test is used to diagnose hiatal hernia,
reux, narrowing of upper GI tract, and esophageal
conditions.
Small Bowel Series
For a small bowel series, the barium ingested for the
upper GI series is allowed to pass through the stomach
into the small bowel and images are taken. This test is
used to detect tumors, and malabsorption syndrome.
Lower GI Series
In a lower GI series, barium enemas are used to examine the large intestine and the rectum. For this
test, barium or an iodine-containing liquid is introduced gradually into the colon through a tube inserted into the rectum. As the barium passes through
the lower intestines, it lls the colon. As in the upper
GI series, a uoroscope transmits continuous images
to the video monitor. A lower GI series is used
to diagnose colon polyps, tumors, diverticular disease, narrowing or obstructions, ulcerative colitis, or
Crohn disease.
FIGURE 38-10 Left lateral free air. (From Adam A, Dixon A:
Grainger & Allison’s diagnostic radiology, ed 5, Philadelphia,
2008, Churchill Livingstone, Elsevier.)
Colonoscopy
In a colonoscopy, a colonoscope is inserted into the
rectum and advanced through the large intestine and
part of the small bowel. The scope has a brotic light
and camera projecting images onto a monitor. Polyps
can be identied, biopsied, and/or entirely removed.
Colonoscopy is used to evaluate intestinal bleeding,
inammatory bowel disease, colorectal polyps, or
cancer.

Chapter 38 • The Abdominal X-ray 463
https://t.me/med1917
Sigmoidoscopy
In a sigmoidoscopy, a exible sigmoidoscope is passed
through the rectum to view the last 2 feet of the colon.
The scope transmits images of the inside of the rectum
and colon. Biopsies may be taken of polyps or suspicious tissue on the intestinal wall. This test is useful for
viewing inammatory conditions in the rectum and
or a video screen that displays the images on a
monitor. The endoscope is inserted into the mouth
and threaded down the esophagus to the stomach and
small intestine. Endoscopy is useful for diagnosing
gastric bleeding, hiatal hernia, and swallowing difculties; for removing stuck objects such as food; and
for biopsy.
lower colon, polyps, bleeding, and ulcerations.
Ultrasound
Computed Tomography
Computed tomography (CT), or computed axial tomography (CAT), provides a cross-sectional slice of the area
examined (see Chapter 37). A CT is useful for diagnosing sigmoid diverticulitis, appendicitis, bowel obstruction, and extracolonic causes of abdominal pain.
Ultrasound is a noninvasive test that uses high
frequency sound waves to produce images. The
ultrasound images are captured in real time. They
can show the size, structure, and movement of the
body’s internal organs, as well as blood owing
through blood vessels and pathologic lesions. It is
useful for evaluating the size of the spleen, gall-

The BMI (weight-for-height) ranges shown above are for adults. They are not exact ranges of healthy and unhealthy weights.
However, they show that health risk increases at higher levels of overweight and obesity. Even within the healthy BMI
range, weight gains carry health risks for adults.
