Small bowel radiology
Small bowel radiology is a branch of gastrointestinal imaging that focuses on diagnosing and evaluating conditions affecting the small intestine, a crucial part of the digestive system. This involves using imaging techniques like X-rays, CT scans, and MRI to visualize the small bowel's structure and function. These methods can help detect issues such as blockages, tumors, inflammation, or other abnormalities. By providing detailed images, small bowel radiology aids physicians in making accurate diagnoses and planning effective treatments for patients with gastrointestinal disorders.
