Sonographic scanning techniques of the gastrointestinal tract are presented. Normal anatomy and ultrasound appearance of the stomach, small intestine, and large intestine are discussed, followed by the ultrasound appearance of gastrointestinal inflammation, neoplastic disease, and obstruction.

Antroduodenal manometry is one of the methods to evaluate stomach and duodenal motility. This test is a valuable diagnostic tool for gastrointestinal motility disorders especially small intestinal pseudo-obstruction which is difficult to make definite diagnosis by clinical manifestations or radiologic findings. Manometric findings that have no evidence of mechanical obstruction and suggestive o...
