Dr. Michael Gabor answered

Specializes in Diagnostic Radiology

Air fluid levels: In the colon are a non specific finding that must be interpreted within the whole clinical picture....there may be no clinical significance, or it could be a sign of pathology such as colonic obstruction. Without additional clinical information, there is no way to ventures guess.
