    Plain radiographs can show a soft-tissue mass in 60% of intussusception cases. A horizontal beam view is crucial, as half of these masses are only visible then.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Pediatric Imaging
    • Gastrointestinal Disorders

    Background:

    • Intussusception is a common surgical emergency in infants and children.
    • Accurate and timely diagnosis is crucial for optimal outcomes.
    • Plain radiography is often the initial imaging modality used.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic utility of plain radiographs in intussusception.
    • To identify key radiographic features suggestive of intussusception.
    • To assess the role of horizontal beam radiography.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of plain radiographs from 40 patients diagnosed with intussusception.
    • Analysis focused on identifying specific diagnostic features, particularly soft-tissue masses.

  • Comparison of findings on standard and horizontal beam views.

    • Main Results:

    • A soft-tissue mass was identified in 60% of the reviewed radiographs.
    • Half of these masses were only visible on radiographs taken with a horizontal beam.
    • Abnormal findings on plain radiographs were frequent.

    Conclusions:

    • Plain radiographs can demonstrate suggestive findings in a majority of intussusception cases.
    • The horizontal beam view significantly increases the detection rate of soft-tissue masses.
    • While not definitive for exclusion, plain radiography findings, especially with horizontal beam, warrant further investigation for intussusception.
