Abstract
Current concepts in imaging of small bowel obstruction
The diagnosis of SBO is a challenging, as it constitutes a variety of examination techniques that must be performed.
The three most common causes of small bowel obstruction are Adhesions, Crohn’s disease and neoplasia
Plain abdominal radiograph, double-contrast barium studies and ultrasound are valuable examinations techniques in diagnosis of small bowel obstruction; whereas cross-sectional imaging, as CT and MRI, has important roles in the precise valuation of SBO.
The conclusion is that MDCT is the most reliable, advanced and non-invasive technique for diagnosis and evaluation of different causes of SBO.
