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
462 Chapter 38 The Abdominal X-ray

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, reux, 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 identied, biopsied, and/or entirely removed. Colonoscopy is used to evaluate intestinal bleeding, inammatory bowel disease, colorectal polyps, or cancer.

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 inammatory 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 dif­culties; 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.
