Question

Help..... :(

A doctor thinks a patient has an intussusception, in which a part of the intestine slides inside itself like the parts of a collapsible telescope. Which imaging technique is the doctor most likely to use? Explain.
X-ray radiography is most likely because it can make an image of a large area of the body.

Sonography is most likely because it has good resolution without radiation.

X-ray fluoroscopy is most likely because it can monitor the movement of material in real time.

A CT scan is most likely because it can form a three-dimensional image of the intestines.

Answer 1

Sonography is most likely because it has good resolution without radiation.

Answer 2

Ans.

Intussusception can be defined as a intestinal disorder, characterized by folds in intestine into the section immediately ahead of it. One of the best technique to detect intussusception is sonography that provides good resolution without harmful radiation.

Sonography shows a doughnut-shaped hyperechoic crescent present around a central mass, having alternative hyperechoic and hypoechoic rings.

Thus, the correct answer is option). 'sonography is most likely because it has good resolution without radiation.'
