Bowel obstruction is a common but difficult clinical problem in terms of appropriate and timely management. In clinical practice, radiologists play a key role not only in making the diagnosis but also in guiding physicians toward appropriate and timely management of many indeterminate cases and situations. In this chapter, small and large bowel obstruction is illustrated, from pathophysiology to imaging, emphasizing the role of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) in the diagnosis and management of bowel obstruction. Furthermore, the place of allied imaging modalities such as plain film and ultrasonography is comprehensively illustrated.

Abstract
Bowel obstruction is a common but difficult clinical problem in terms of appropriate and timely management. In clinical practice, radiologists play a key role not only in making the diagnosis but also in guiding physicians toward appropriate and timely management of many indeterminate cases and situations. In this chapter, small and large bowel obstruction is illustrated, from pathophysiology to imaging, emphasizing the role of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) in the diagnosis and management of bowel obstruction. Furthermore, the place of allied imaging modalities such as plain film and ultrasonography is comprehensively illustrated.
