About X-Ray Abdomen Erect & Supine
An X-Ray Abdomen Erect & Supine is a diagnostic imaging examination that includes two different views of the abdomen:
Supine View: Taken while the patient is lying flat on their back.
Erect View: Taken while the patient is standing upright.
The two views give complementary information and help to detect abnormalities not detectable on one X-ray view, such as air-fluid levels and free air in the abdominal cavity. We use cutting-edge digital X-ray technology at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy to produce a clear and detailed image with minimal radiation exposure.
What is an X-Ray Abdomen Erect & Supine?
A diagnostic imaging procedure that uses X-rays to view the organs, intestines, kidneys, urinary bladder, and surrounding structures of the abdomen (simple, non-invasive procedure). As changes are obtained in both positions of the patient, it becomes possible to get a clearer, better evaluation of any bowel gas pattern, intestinal perforation, and other abdominal abnormalities. It is usually ordered in emergencies where the patient may have a sudden, severe abdominal illness or have possible bowel troubles.
