There is evidence of distended small bowel and an abnormal gas pattern
over the liver.
This is a scout film from an abdominal CT scan. I cannot read the name
of the patient, the date of the CT or the patients date of birth. The
gas pattern in the small bowel would suggest that this is a supine film,
as is usual for CT scans.
The bowel appears distended with gas. This is most evident in the
central abdomen. This distended bowel is the small bowel which shows the
characteristic stack of coins appearance due to the valvualae
coniventes. In addition there is a peculiar gas pattern visible over the
liver.
I would be concerned about the possibility of intestinal obstruction
