title: [Current possibilities of X-ray diagnosis of small intestine diseases using the agent Entero-view].
abstract: The paper analyzes the current capacities of routine (classical) X-ray study in the diagnosis of organ diseases of the small bowel. The distinctive feature of the paper is that in addition to routine barium passage through the small bowel, the new barium contrast agent Entero-view specially designed for its exploration is used. Of the 115 examined patients with various gastroenterological diseases, 76 underwent Entero-view examination that revealed different organ pathology of the small bowel in 28 cases (Crohn's disease in 18, tuberculosis in 3, lymphomas in 5, and cancer in 2). A normal X-ray pattern of the small bowel was diagnosed in 48 cases. The authors highly appreciate this agent. In their opinion, it is essentially helpful in solving one of the most difficult problems in X-ray gastroenterology--present-day X-ray diagnosis of small bowel pathology. The paper describes a procedure for using this agent. It gives a normal X-ray pattern of the small bowel, the agent's use has provided a particularly vivid image of both a normal part of the ileum and its different organ pathology-associated changes.
