Die Doppelkontrastdarstellung des Dünndarms mit Barium und Methylzellulose

Abstract
A modified technique of the small bowel enema is described. Diluted barium followed by an aqueous suspension of 0.5% methylcellulose is injected through a duodenal tube. Pathologic findings can be better recognized by the resulting double-contrast images than by other techniques. A detailed description of this method, and of our own experience, is given.
