title: Preliminary colon cleansing for small-bowel examinations: results and implications of a prospective survey.
abstract: The findings in 133 consecutive patients having a small-bowel barium follow-through examination are presented. Two conclusions are drawn: colon cleansing does not decrease transit time to the caecum and colon cleansing does not affect the examination quality.
