• A barium enema is a test used to help
 visualise the colon (large bowel).


• A barium enema is used to look for
 problems in the colon, such as polyps,
 inflammation (colitis), narrowing of the
 colon, tumours, diverticulitis
1. SINGLE CONTRAST STUDY

The colon is filled with barium, which outlines the intestine and
     reveals large abnormalities.

2.      DOUBLE CONTRAST @ AIR –CONTRAST STUDY


1. the colon is first filled with barium

2. then the barium is drained out, leaving only a thin layer of
     barium on the wall of the colon.

3. The colon is then filled with air. This provides a detailed view of
     the inner surface of the colon, making it easier to see narrowed
     areas (strictures), diverticula, or inflammation.

How is a barium enema done?
• You will be asked to wear a gown
• lie on a couch on your side or front
• A small tube is then put into your anus (back passage) and
• Pt placed in Sims’ position before enema tip is inserted.
• gently pushed up a few centimetres. (not exceed 3-4 cm to prevent
   possible injury to the wall of the rectum.
• Barium liquid is then passed through the tube into your colon.
• Ask pt to move into different positions, to help with the flow of the
   barium liquid.
• Give you an injection of a drug that makes the muscles in the wall of
   the colon relax.( relieve the cramping.)
• Pass some air down the enema tube into the colon. (This may
  feel a little uncomfortable )

• The air expands the colon and also pushes the barium to coat
  the lining of the colon.

• When the barium has spread throughout the colon, X-ray
  image are taken with different positions. ( to have all parts of
  the colon.)

• (Low-dose X-rays are used so the total amount of radiation for
  the whole test is quite small and thought to be safe.)

• The tube is then removed and pt can go to the toilet. The test
  takes about 15-20 minutes.
WHY USE BARIUM LIQUID

• to spread all along the colon as far as the
  caecum (where the small intestine joins
  the colon).
Side-effects From Barium Enema
1. have stomach cramps for a few hours .
2. The barium may make you constipated. So, to
   help prevent constipation:
 Have lots to drink for a day
 Eat plenty of fruit for a day .(See your doctor if you
  haven't passed any faeces (stools) after three days).
3. If you had an injection to relax the muscles in your
    colon, it may cause of your vision for an hour
 If this happens NOT to drive until The barium does not
  get absorbed into the body.
PROJECTION
•   PA /AP PROJECTION
•   RAO-to include rectal ampulla
•   LAO-to include L colic flexure
•   LPO-for right colic (hepatic)flexure
•   RPO-for left colic(splenic)flexure
•   L @ R LATERAL DECUBITUS-air filled
    portions of the large intestine.
