Hi,
With the question “What does the X-ray result of small intestine narrow with hard margin, dilated loop mean? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Normally, all bowel loops are not dilated, have soft edges, thin walls evenly and have peristalsis in the direction from high to low. X-ray of the small intestine to evaluate the intestinal wall, the edges of the intestinal loops and, importantly, the circulation of digestive juices from high to low.
When the results show that the small intestine is narrow, hard border, non-peristaltic, the upper bowel loops are dilated, meaning that this segment of intestine may be injured in the intestinal wall or it may be a lesion in another part of the intestine. (or is secondary to damage to another organ) and the radiograph is abnormal.
Therefore, you should bring the results you have and go to a gastroenterologist for more complete advice.
