What is the best recommended position for small bowel series?

You will continue to drink the contrast material throughout the exam to ensure that the radiologist can sufficiently examine the full length of the small intestine. You may be asked to lie on your right side between x-rays in order to encourage fluid to pass from the stomach into the small intestine.

Which of the following positions is routine for a small bowel radiograph?

Unit test 1, 2, 3, & Midterm.

What is the purpose of a small bowel series?

What is a Small Bowel Series? A small bowel series is an x-ray examination of the small intestine that uses a special form of x-ray called fluoroscopy and an orally ingested contrast material called barium. An x-ray (radiograph) is a noninvasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions.

Which one of the following imaging modalities and/or procedures is very effective in detecting the Meckel diverticulum?

Computed tomography colonography (CTC) is considered as an effective alternative to endoscopic colonoscopy. Meckel diverticulum is best diagnosed with a radionuclide (nuclear medicine) scan.
