Learning objectives

By the end of this teaching session, participants should be able to adequately understand and apply a systematic approach to the interpretation of abdominal x-rays (AXR).
Participants are expected to identify and describe the common appearances of pathologies on an abdominal x-ray, hence broadening their range of differential diagnoses.
Attendees should be able to differentiate between normal and abnormal AXR findings, and use this knowledge to aid in clinical decision making.
The learners will be able to use their knowledge of AXR interpretation to heighten their understanding and ability in colorectal disease management.
By the end of the session, attendees should be equipped with the skills to effectively communicate their findings from an AXR, whether it's to patients, colleagues, or in the context of surgical case presentations.
