    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Conventional small bowel imaging techniques may lack optimal contrast.
    • Double-contrast imaging is standard for the stomach and colon, offering superior visualization.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and describe a novel small bowel enema technique.
    • To achieve double-contrast imaging of the small intestine comparable to gastric and colonic studies.

    Main Methods:

    • A biphasic procedure involving transtubal injection.
    • Administration of barium sulfate followed by 0.5% methylcellulose.
    • Adjustable injection quantities and speeds tailored to patient needs.

    Main Results:

    • The technique yields double-contrast images of the small bowel.
    • Image quality is comparable to that achieved in the stomach and colon.
    • The procedure is adaptable to individual patient diagnostic requirements.

    Conclusions:

    • This small bowel enema technique offers improved diagnostic imaging.
    • It enables high-quality double-contrast visualization of the small intestine.
    • The method's adaptability makes it suitable for various clinical scenarios.
