It is hard to diagnose small intestine cancer in its early stages. Other problems can also cause the same symptoms such as stomach discomfort and other digestive system cancer. So, if you have those symptoms, you had better go to see your doctor to do some tests. They include lab tests, image tests and [[endoscopy]].
===Fluoroscopy===
*'''[[Capsule endoscopy]]:''' In this procedure, the patient is not detected with an actual endoscope but with a capsule (about the size of a large vitamin pill) which contains a light source and a very small camera. After swallowed, the capsule goes through the small intestine for a period of 8 hours. It takes thousands of pictures which can be downloaded onto a computer for the doctor to analyze.
*According to some publications, [[upper GI series]] seem to be the most accurate diagnostic modalities for small-bowel carcinomas.  
*'''[[Double balloon enteroscopy]] and [[biopsy]]:''' This is a newer way of looking at the small intestine. At first the patient need to anesthesia. This technology makes the doctor to see the intestine a foot at a time and even take a biopsy if something abnormal.  
*Upper [[GI]] shows features of mucosal pattern distortion, obliteration and narrowing. Delayed images may show hold up of [[barium]] at the site of the lesion.
*'''[[Barium x-rays]]:''' This is an x-ray test that a person is given a medication that will temporarily slow bowel movement, so structures can be more easily seen on the x-rays. For this test, the patient drinks a millkshake-like substance called barium. X-ray method called fluroscopy tracks how the barium moves through your esophagus, stomach, and small intestine. Pictures are taken in a variety of positions. It includes upper GI series, enteroclysis and a barium enema.

Overview

Other diagnostic studies for localizing tumor of small intestine cancer include ultrasound, fluoroscopy and barium follow through x-rays.

Other Imaging Findings

Fluoroscopy

  • According to some publications, upper GI series seem to be the most accurate diagnostic modalities for small-bowel carcinomas.
  • Upper GI shows features of mucosal pattern distortion, obliteration and narrowing. Delayed images may show hold up of barium at the site of the lesion.

Barium x-rays

  • This is an x-ray test that a person is given a medication that will temporarily slow bowel movement, so structures can be more easily seen on the x-rays.
  • For this test, the patient drinks a substance called barium.
  • X-ray method called fluroscopy tracks how the barium moves through your esophagus, stomach, and small intestine. Pictures are taken in a variety of positions.
  • It includes upper GI series, enteroclysis and a barium enema.
