Double Contrast Gastrointestinal Radiology With Endoscopic Correlation

Double contrast radiography of the colon has been available to the radiologist for decades. Within the last few years, however, there has been a resurgence in this technique. Improvement in apparatus and barium preparations has resulted in notably superior radiographs. A detailed look at the mucosal lining of gut has been provided.

Detailed in 17 chapters is a method for double contrast examination of the entire gastrointestinal tract. Technical and interpretative information is described; radiographic reproductions are excellent. The chapter entitled "Principles of Double Contrast Diagnosis" is particularly useful in presenting basic concepts of interpretation that apply to double contrast examination of any region of the gut.
