Imaging modalities in GI
• Plain X-rays (Supine, Erect, Decubitus)
• Barium studies (Ba Swallow, Meal, Follow through, Enteroclysis, Enema)
• Ultrasound Abdomen• CT Scan/MRI Abdomen• ERCP, Cholangiography.• Angiography and Nuclear Medicine
![Page 3: GI Radiology](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816331550346895dd3b240/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Plain Abdominal X-rays
• Erect Chest• Supine Abdomen• Erect / Decubitus Abdomen ( 10 min )• Radiation Dose ( 1 Abd = 75 CXR)• Contraindicated – pregnancy
![Page 4: GI Radiology](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816331550346895dd3b240/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Indications.
• “Acute Abdomen”• Abdominal Pain. • ?Obstruction.
• Not Indicated for:– Trauma.– Solid organ assessment.
![Page 5: GI Radiology](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816331550346895dd3b240/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Basic Principles
• Five radiographic densities:– Gas/Air – Fat. – Soft Tissue/Water – Bone/Calcium– Metals
• Interface/line only visible when two of these densities interface with each other.

Approach to a AXR
• Technical Assessment.• Projection.• Bowel/Gas Shadows.• Normal/Abnormal Calcifications.• Solid Organs.• Look at lung bases and at the skeleton.
![Page 7: GI Radiology](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816331550346895dd3b240/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Normal Vs Abnormal Gas shadows
• Stomach.• Colon.• Small Bowel.
• Within the Lumen:– Dilated bowel ?
Obstruction• Outside the Lumen:
– Free ?perforation– In a cavity ?abscess

Contrast Medium for GI
Water Soluble• Ionic (gastrografin) Can
lead to pulmonary edema if aspirated.
• Non- Ionic ( Low Osmolar) Relatively safer if aspirated.
• Gadolinium (MRI)
• Barium ( Non-water soluble)• Can cause sever peritonitis and
fibrosis in perforation or leakage.
