Small intestine
On abdominal X-rays, the small intestine is considered to be abnormally dilated when the diameter exceeds 3 cm.[1][2]
In barium or capsule swallow studies, delayed small intestinal transit time can be diagnosed by a transit time from ingestion to presence in the cecum of over 6 hours.[3][4]
