title: Barium examination of the small intestine.
abstract: Barium radiology remains the method of choice for the diagnosis and evaluation of many small intestinal disorders. Enteroclysis (small bowel enema) is proving to be a quick and efficient way of examining the small intestine. During enteroclysis the intestine is distended with barium contrast medium, clearly demonstrating any morphological changes that may be present.
