For confirming a diagnosis of intussusception in a paediatric patient, imaging modalities are crucial (Carroll et al., 2017).

The comparative effectiveness of various imaging modalities for the diagnosis of intussusception has been a subject of critical appraisal in medical literature (Carroll et al., 2017).

One specific imaging modality discussed in the context of paediatric bowel imaging is contrast-enhanced ultrasound (Gokli et al., 2021).

The overall management of intussusception in children, which encompasses diagnostic approaches, is also addressed in medical literature (Gluckman et al., 2017).
