Abdominal X-rays (AXRs) are one of the most common imaging modalities used to investigate suspected abdominal conditions in neonates. They are frequently requested for a variety of suspected conditions including necrotising enterocolitis, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, duodenal atresia and Hirschsprung's disease. Nurses play an important role in preparing and supporting neonates who are undergoing an AXR, and in some centres advanced neonatal nurse practitioners may be involved in requesting and interpreting AXRs as part of their enhanced role in patient management. It is therefore important that nurses understand the indications, procedure and interpretation for this imaging modality, as well as its limitations and potential long-term risks.
腹部 X 光片（AXRs）是用于检查新生儿疑似腹部疾病的最常用成像方式之一。它们常用于多种疑似疾病的检查，包括坏死性小肠结肠炎、先天性膈疝、十二指肠闭锁和先天性巨结肠。护士在准备和支持接受 AXR 的新生儿方面发挥着重要作用，在一些中心，高级新生儿护士从业者可能会参与 AXR 的请求和解释，作为其在患者管理中增强角色的一部分。因此，护士了解这种成像方式的适应症、程序和解释，以及其局限性和潜在的长期风险非常重要。
