A member asked:

What does this mean from an abdominal exray: some paucity of small bowel gas. gas seen in mildly prominent small bowel loop left mid to lower abdomen. gas and fecal material seen in nondistended colon along the periphery?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Paucity=less: The statement just says there is less than the average amount of gas seen. It is of no real importance unless it is paired with a physical exam & the ordering docs reason for the study. In general it sounds pretty normal.
