Abnormalities in small intestine contour and caliber: a working classification.
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.
