Overview
There are no x-ray findings associated with [disease name].
OR
An x-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings on an x-ray suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].
OR
There are no x-ray findings associated with [disease name]. However, an x-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of [disease name], which include [complication 1], [complication 2], and [complication 3].
X Ray
- There are no x-ray findings associated with IBS.[1]
- Imaging studies are of limited value and should be considered on an individual basis.
- Obstruction, stool retention and aerophagia may be ruled out on an upright abdominal radiograph during a pain episode.
- In IBS patients presenting with dyspepsia, upper GI radiographs help rule out other causes.
- Small bowel barium radiography helps in the diagnosis of:
- Ileal and jejunal Crohn disease
- Diverticula
- In IBS patients of age >40 years with alarm features, an contrast barium enema should also be performed.
