Small intestinal plication produced by a linear foreign body (arrows) in the cat in this report. 5. An ultrasonogram of a normal small intestine in a cat. Note the smooth and normal shape of the small intestine. The intestinal walls are easily identified. 6. An intraoperative picture of the cat in this report showing the plicated small intestine. eral recumbency, gas is present in the pyloric region.9,10 On the right and left lateral views, evaluating gas within the small or large intestine may help differentiate various segments of the intestine as well as elucidate abnormalities. 9 Additional abnormalities such as free air, loss of serosal detail (denoting abdominal effusion), and soft tissue masses are easily observed on survey films.2,4 Compression radiography Compression radiography is a fast and easy way to isolate and evaluate abdominal structures, including the small intestine.11 This technique’s advantage is the isolation of organs of interest to provide evaluation without summation and superimposition from other organs.11,12 The technique is simple and has been described elsewhere.11 Briefly, the area of the target organ of interest is compressed with a wooden or plastic spoon, paddles, or any rigid and radiolucent material that has a surface 1.5 times the size of the area of interest. Minimize patient discomfort by compressing the area with your hand before placing the radiolucent device over it, and then slip your hand out.11 Compression can also be used with a contrast study.
