Abstract

Although currently pharmacological agents are widely accepted throughout radiology, some radiologists still do not use these agents at all while others use them only for specific indications. In general, the advent of double contrast techniques and use of hypotonic agents has led to better colon relaxation and, hopefully, to a better diagnosis. With a double contrast barium enema there has also been less dependence upon post-evacuation radiographs.
