For confirming a diagnosis of intussusception in a paediatric patient, imaging modalities are crucial Carroll et al. 2017.
The comparative effectiveness of various imaging modalities for the diagnosis of intussusception has been a subject of critical appraisal in medical literature Carroll et al. 2017.
One specific imaging modality discussed in the context of paediatric bowel imaging is contrast-enhanced ultrasound Gokli et al. 2021.
The overall management of intussusception in children, which encompasses diagnostic approaches, is also addressed in medical literature Gluckman et al. 2017.
