Abdominal pain other imaging findings

If the diagnosis remains unclear after basic investigations, such as the patient’s history and a physical examination, then more advanced investigations may reveal a diagnosis. These include:

• Barium enema
• Bone scan
• Computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis
• Endoscopy and colonoscopy (not used for diagnosing acute pain)
• Small bowel enema

In cases of ischemic acute abdomen, abdominal radiography will show many air-fluid levels, as well as widespread edema.
