What is X-ray of Meckel's Diverticulum?

An X-ray of Meckel's Diverticulum is a diagnostic imaging procedure used to detect a congenital abnormality in the small intestine known as Meckel’s diverticulum. It is an outpouching of the lower part of the small intestine, usually asymptomatic, but it can cause complications such as bleeding or infection.

The procedure typically involves the use of a contrast medium (e.g., barium) to help highlight the diverticulum on the X-ray.

It is more commonly detected through other imaging techniques like CT scans or during exploratory surgery. While an X-ray may not be the first diagnostic choice, it can assist in revealing complications related to the condition.

What to expect & how to prepare

X-ray of Meckel's Diverticulum is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your X-ray of Meckel's Diverticulum result rather than self-diagnosing.
