ENGLISH ABSTRACT
JOURNAL ARTICLE
[Emergency radiology of bowel obstruction].
Clinical radiology is a key to the management of bowel obstruction. Plain abdominal radiographs combined with history, clinical exam, and laboratory findings are essential for further individualized strategies. If the cause of obstruction is obvious after plain films and there is a need for emergent surgery, no further imaging is required. In all other cases, multislice CT with at least intravenous and rectal contrast is the method of choice due to its broad diagnostic spectrum. If CT is not available, contrast enema is recommended in suspected large bowel obstruction. Oral administration of water-soluble contrast agents has no significant value in the workup of bowel obstruction.
