Small-bowel radiography. A prospective comparative study of three techniques in 200 patients.
The authors report on a prospective study on small-bowel radiography, comparing conventional barium follow-through, single-contrast enteroclysis (Sellink's method) and double-contrast enteroclysis. Enteroclysis appeared to be superior even when the follow-through was done with frequent fluoroscopy and large amounts of contrast medium. Single and double-contrast techniques did not differ essentially in image quality. Single-contrast technique being less time-consuming is to be preferred.
