Air fluid levels in colon
The Point
When taking PA, barium will fill the transverse colon. When taking upright, air/fluid levels should be seen. AP Oblique Large Intestine: The entire large intestine should be included (take additional film if necessary) Barium should be adequately penetrated without overexposure.

Upright abdominal radiographs ( diffuse distention consistent with ileus or pseudo-obstruction, or air-fluid levels in the patient with intestinal obstruction. Contrast enema radiography ( colonic or distal small intestinal obstruction. BMFT ( partial gastric outlet or small intestinal obstruction.
Normal vs. Abnormal Gas in the Abdomen
Diagnosis – contrast edema, colonoscopy decompression is required if cecum >8cm with surgery if process recurs or if intestinal gangrene develops. Diagnosis for small bowel obstruction on upright x-ray is dilated loops of bowel and air-fluid levels.

Three or more air fluid layer areas is indicative of obstruction. Normal in the stomach and in the right upper quadrant. Cecum can also be an appropriate area for an air-fluid levels. Stretch of the small or large intestine is so thin due to expansion which then renders peristalsis inactive. Hypoperistalsis( Aperistalsis

The fluid and air filled mass is quite large resulting in a notable protrusion of the anterior abdominal wall on the lower left side in the mid-pelvic region. The small intestine appears to be unaffected in the central pelvis and the infection appears limited to affecting the descending colon.

On plain radiographs, gas-fluid levels at different heights reliably indicate mechanical obstruction, and gas-fluid levels at the same level reliably indicate an adynamic ileus. E. The absence of air in the bile ducts, nondepiction of an extrahepatic gallstone, and the absence of air-distended loops of small bowel exclude the diagnosis of ...
