[Dynamic double contrast small bowel enema (author's transl)].

A modification of the double contrast technique for examining the small bowel is described. This employs an infusion system with variable infusion pressure, which makes it possible to adjust the flow of contrast medium, methyl cellulose and water separately, permitting continuous double contrast demonstration of the entire small bowel. The ileum, which was poorly demonstrated by conventional double contrast methods, can be shown satisfactorily in a high percentage of cases (70%). Side effects and failures, which were frequent at first, have become less common with increasing experience.
