Introduction
• Plain films of the abdomen are used primarily to assess calcifications and intestinal perforation or obstruction.
• The plain radiograph is commonly used as a preliminary radiograph for other studies such as CT ,U/S & MRI

X ray Abdomen
• The most common plain radiograph of the abdomen is an anteroposterior (AP) view with the patient in the supine position.
• The AP view of the abdomen is also called a KUB film because it includes the kidneys, ureters, and bladder.
• When acute abdominal disease is suspected clinically, an erect film of the abdomen and a posteroanterior (PA) view of the chest are also required

Digestive SystemThe digestive system consist of 1. Oral Cavity 2. Pharynx3. Oesophagus (muscular tube
25cms long extending from C6 to T11.
4. Stomach5. Small Intestine6. Large Intestine

MembranesMembranesPeritoneum - generic serous membrane in abdominal cavityMesenteries - double sheets of peritoneum,
surrounding and suspending portions ofthe digestive organs
• Greater omentum - "fatty apron", hangs anteriorly from stomach, double layer encloses fat
• Lesser omentum - between stomach and liver• Mesentery proper - suspends and wraps the
small intestine• Mesocolon - suspends and wraps the colon,
parts arei. transverse mesocolonii. sigmoid mesocolon Fig. 25.4

Regions of Small IntestineRegions of Small Intestine
SI is longest part of dig. tube
• Duodenum (short, 12 inches)– fixed shape & position– Mixing bowl for chyme
• Jejunum (2.5 m long) – Most of digestion
• Ileum (longest at 3.5 m) – Most of absorption, ends in
• Ileocecal valve – slit valve into large intestine (colon)

Abdomen Anatomy-Liver
Liver- largest gland in the body,present in RUQ. Two major lobes two minor lobes.
Falciform ligament separates larger Rt lobes from Lt lobe ,small quadrate lobe lies inferior to Rt lobe and posterior to quadrate lobe lies caudate lobe
![Page 11: Abdomen Radiography ppt . Daniel J.P. Radiology Technologist , Khorfakhan hospital , sharjha , UAE](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062303/55654e39d8b42a77078b478c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Abdomen Anatomy-CBD
Extrahepatic biliary apparatus . Rt and Lt hepatic duct from right
and left lobe of liver unite to form common hepatic duct .
Gallbladder – pear shaped , 7 – 10cm long . Has three parts , fundus is distal and middle part is body continues proximally as cystic duct .
Common bile duct – formed by union of cystic duct and common hepatic duct .it joins with pancreatic duct and opens into second part of duodenum at duodenal papilla
![Page 12: Abdomen Radiography ppt . Daniel J.P. Radiology Technologist , Khorfakhan hospital , sharjha , UAE](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062303/55654e39d8b42a77078b478c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Abdomen Anatomy-PancreasPancreas is transversely placed between L1 and
L2. it has three parts head,body and tail .
It is partly exocrine and partly endocrine . Endocrine part secretes insulin and glucagon . Exocrine part secretes pancreatic juice .
The pancreatic duct opens in to second part
of duodenum .

ANATOMY KIDNEYSKidney- lies retroperitoneal at the level of T12-L3 .
Each kidney is composed of three million uriniferous tubules . Each tubules has two parts (a) secretory part (b) collecting tubule Ureter – it’s a narrow thick muscular tube which conveys urine from kidney in to bladder.it is 25cms long
Urinary Bladder – it’s a muscular reservoir of urine which lies in the pelvic cavity . Its capacity is 250ml

Abdomen - plain film Anatomy
A Normal plain film of the abdomen. The lower margins of the posterior portion of the liver, the hepatic angle (H), and the lower part of the spleen (S) are delineated by a fat shadow. Both kidneys (K) and the psoas muscle shadows (arrowheads) are outlined by a fat shadow. The properitoneal fat stripe is also shown bilaterally (arrows).
