A member asked:
Which test is better to check for inflammation in the small intestine, an mri or an endoscopy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Small intestine: Standard upper endoscopy doesn't visualize the small intestine beyond the duodenum. Upper gi series with small bowel follow through, CT scan, MRI, or swallowing a capsule camera are some ways to identify small intestine pathology.
