Abstract
The technique deseribed here is one we have perfected and used for 10 years. Since our earlier work it has undergone certain changes, resulting in a more simplified procedure. In its broad outline, it is the same as that described by Welin [15]. Other methods have been successfully used by different authors [2, 4, 5, 7, 8]. They are based on the same principles: the colonic mucosa (clean and cleared of secretions) is coated with a fine layer of adherent barium and the colon is distended by air insufflation. Three conditions are essential for carrying out this procedure: (1) thorough preparation of the colon, (2) use of dense and adherent barium, (3) a full understanding of the technique, which is based on the use of a small quantity of barium “guided” to the cecum by changing the patient’s position and gradually increasing the amount of air insufflated.
