A member asked:
Do i need contrast with ct scan to diagnose intestinal obstruction /illeus? or is a non enhanced abdominal pelvic ct scan good enough ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes, a blockage of the intestine can be determined even on a plain film x-ray, not even necessarily a CAT scan. Good luck.
