title: [Radiologic diagnosis of Meckel's diverticulum].
abstract: This paper describes our experience with pre-surgical diagnosis of Meckel's diverticulum. We used a naso-jejunal-ileal tube, through which, we injected small amounts of radio-opaque fluid and air, thus utilizing double contrast. In seven children diverticulum was shown to be present by radioscopic and radiographic techniques; this was later confirmed during laparotomy. X-ray findings were compared with Tc99 scanning results.
