Abstract
Imaging evaluation of small bowel obstruction (SBO) is essential for determining the appropriate clinical treatment for a patient. The current recommendations for the evaluation of SBO, including protocols, are reviewed. A method for evaluating SBO including the criteria for diagnosis, finding the transition point, determining the cause, and identifying the presence of ischemia is discussed.Entities:
