The task is to match the lettered items with the correct numbered items. Appearing below is a list of lettered items. Following that is a list of numbered items. Each numbered item is followed by a drop-down. Select the letter in the drop down that best matches the numbered item with the lettered alternatives.

a. Malignant tumor that shows "stacked coin" sign, caused by thickening, coarsening, and possible hemorrhage of the mucosal wall; may become narrowed and ulcerative

b. Most common tumor of small bowel, with benign appearance that have potential to become malignant; small lesions that tend to grow submucosally

c. Common infection of lumen of the small intestine caused by a flagellate protozoan leading to mild to profuse diarrhea, nausea, anorexia, and weight loss

d. Obstruction of the small intestine due to cessation of peristalsis, due to infection, use of certain medications, or post-surgical complications; images show no air-fluid levels, but intestine is distended with thin bowel wall

e. Birth defect resuling in sac-like outpouching of the intestinal wall, seen in the ileum, with pain that mimics acute appendicitis

f. Obstruction of the small intestine due to cessation of peristalsis, due to physical blockage of the bowel by tumors, adhesions, or hernia; images show "circular staircase", "herringbone" pattern, or air-fluid levels

g. Form of inflammatory bowel disease that leads to scarring or thickening of the bowel wall, producing "cobblestone" appearance visible during SBFT exams

h. inflammation of the intestine, primarily of the small intestine, that can be caused by bacterial or protozoan organisms and other environmental factors (radiation)

Match the BE Clinical Indication with its description.

The task is to match the lettered items with the correct numbered items. Appearing below is a list of lettered items. Following that is a list of numbered items. Each numbered item is followed by a drop-down. Select the letter in the drop down that best matches the numbered item with the lettered alternatives.

a. Telescoping or invagination of one part of the intestine into another

b. Twisting of a portion of the intestine on its own mesentery, leading to a mechanical type of obstruction

c. Chronic condition that often leads to development of coinlike ulcers within the mucosal wall; during BE, seen as multiple ring-shaped filling defects that create a "cobblestone" appearance along the mucosa

d. Type of carcinoma that may form "apple-core" or "napkin-ring" appearance as tumor grows and infiltrates the bowel walls

e. Outpouching of mucosal wall that results from herniation of the inner wall of the colon

f. Saclike projections that project inward into the lumen of the bowel
