Chest CT examination of gastrointestinal CT

In the onset of chest fluoroscopy, the diaphragmatic tendon can be judged to be one-sided or bilateral. If necessary, chest CT should be performed to exclude the disease of the phrenic nerve. The electrocardiogram should be used to determine whether there is pericarditis and myocardial infarction. For suspected central nervous system disease, head CT, magnetic resonance, EEG, etc. can be performed.

When suspected digestive system lesions, abdominal X-ray, B-mode ultrasound, gastrointestinal angiography, abdominal CT and hepatopancreatic function tests if necessary, for clinical and biochemical examination to eliminate poisoning and metabolic diseases.
