    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Small bowel examinations are crucial for diagnosing gastrointestinal conditions.
    • Alternative methods like enteroclysis have limitations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic yield and accuracy of dedicated per-oral small bowel examinations.
    • To compare the effectiveness of this technique against other small bowel imaging methods.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 100 consecutive dedicated per-oral small bowel examinations.
    • Correlation of findings with clinical suspicion and final diagnoses.

    Main Results:

    • 33% of examinations revealed abnormalities, with Crohn's disease being a common finding.
    • High clinical suspicion correlated with a 73.5% abnormality rate.

  • Diagnostic accuracy was high: 90% in abnormal cases and 91% in normal cases, with low false positive/negative rates.

    • Conclusions:

    • Dedicated small bowel series are a justifiable and practical diagnostic tool.
    • This method offers a viable alternative to intubation or direct contrast infusion techniques.
