Barium enema examination using a remote controlled positive and negative contrast media inflator.
In a series of 30 patients, barium enema examination of the colon was performed via a remote controlled air and contrast media inflator. With this apparatus, introduction and elimination of air and barium into the colon can be accomplished at a freely adjustable rate of injection by remote control. Fluoroscopy time is significantly reduced and the operator is not exposed to radiation.
