  • Title: Intussusception: additional observations on the plain radiograph.
    Author: White SJ, Blane CE.
    Journal: AJR Am J Roentgenol; 1982 Sep; 139(3):511-3. PubMed ID: 6981315.
    Abstract:
    The plain radiographs of 40 patients with intussusception were reviewed with special attention to diagnostic features previously reported in this condition. Sixty percent of the cases demonstrated a soft-tissue mass on the radiograph. However, fully one-half of all masses were seen only on a horizontal beam radiograph. The use of plain radiographs to exclude the diagnosis of intussusception is not advocated. Nevertheless, attention is drawn to the frequency of abnormal plain findings, especially a soft-tissue mass on the horizontal beam examination.
