Addition of methyl cellulose enema to double-contrast barium imaging of sigmoid diverticulosis
(1997) In Acta Radiologica 38(1). p.73-75- Abstract
- Double-contrast barium enema has a reduced sensitivity in patients with severe sigmoid diverticulosis. Therefore a carboxy methyl cellulose enema was employed after the conventional double-contrast examination in 15 patients with sigmoid diverticulosis. A significant increase in lumen diameter and a superior removal of barium residue from the diverticula facilitated the interpretation of the sigmoid loops. CONCLUSION: The addition of methyl cellulose enema to double-contrast barium imaging improves diagnostic imaging in diverticulosis by expanding the lumen and emptying the diverticula.
