Real-time ultrasonography in the diagnosis of intussusception
Abstract:
Adult intussusception may be difficult to detect. Clinical findings are variable and standard radiographic studies are not always helpful. In a patient with colocolic intussusception complicating carcinoma, the radiographic examination was normal and the definitive diagnosis was established by real-time ultrasonography alone. This procedure is noninvasive, rapid, painless, inexpensive and devoid of complications or contraindications.

Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
In gastric emptying studies, a meal's liquid and solid...
Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
