title: Abnormalities in small intestine contour and caliber: a working classification.
abstract: An organized approach to the radiographic analysis of abnormal small bowel based on evaluation of contour and caliber is presented. Diseases affecting the small bowel can be categorized by performing a suggested sequence of observations, and a more specific diagnosis can then be made by integrating clinical information with the radiographic observations.
