Suspected intestinal obstruction is first imaged with an abdominal series: supine and erect abdominal X-rays plus an upright chest X-ray, looking for dilated loops, air-fluid levels and free air. CT is the study of choice for detail, but it is not offered. Ultrasound is not the standard first test, and barium studies are not used to confirm acute obstruction.
