A member asked:
Might it happen that a simple ct smight it happen that show small intestine might it happen thatcer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not: Unless it is advanced. Some other tests are small bowel contrast x-ray, capsule study, or enterography. But small intestine is 30 feet long and twisted on itself, so it is difficult to find anything there. One good thing is that cancers of small intestine are much less common than stomach or colon.
