The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

To solve the problem of identifying the radiological image, one needs to understand the characteristics of the conditions presented in the options and how they typically appear in imaging studies like X-rays or CT scans.
  • Intussusception: This condition involves the telescoping of one segment of the intestine into another, leading to a "target sign" or "doughnut sign" on ultrasound or CT, characterized by concentric circles in a cross-sectional view.
  • Carcinoma colon: This appears as an irregular mass or thickening of the bowel wall, sometimes with obstruction but lacks the concentric ring appearance typical of intussusception.
  • Sigmoid volvulus: Shows a "coffee bean sign" or inverted "U" shape on an abdominal X-ray due to twisted sigmoid colon, not concentric circles.
Given these descriptions, the radiological image below showing a "target sign" or multiple concentric rings is identified as Intussusception.
