What is Abdominal X-ray (single view)? Read the full explainer →

Abdominal X-ray (single view)

A single plain x-ray picture of the belly. It is the fastest and cheapest look inside the abdomen, read mostly for the pattern of gas and stool in the bowel, for dense objects like some stones or a swallowed item, and for checking where a tube or drain has ended up. One view means one image, not a series.
