Abstract
It is difficult to perform a small bowel meal study after a double-contrast examination of the upper gastrointestinal tract (see follow-through study). This study is therefore performed as a specific small bowel examination. With meticulous supervision, fluoroscopy, and palpation, this study is as sensitive as the small bowel enema for most common diseases [1]. The advantages of the small bowel meal over small bowel enema are patient tolerance, less fluoroscopic time because there is no need for tube placement, and ease of performance of the test [2].
