Barium Enema Air Contrast
by earth2008, Feb 22, 2008 03:05PM
Hello,
Last week I had a Barium Enema test done, with the following result:
Report: Standard air contrast barium enema was
performed. The colon is normal in course and caliber, showing
no
areas of fixed focal narrowing or dilatation. No mucosal fold
thickening or ulceration is evident. A few small round filling
defects are identified in the transverse and descending colon;
however, these do not persist on all images and are favored to
reflect air bubbles or retained fecal material. No definite
mass
is apparent. The vermiform appendix is partially opacified and
appears normal. There is a small amount of reflux into the
distal ileum.
IMPRESSION: Barium enema essentially within normal limits.
My doctor said my colon is 100% normal, but I would like a second opinion if there is a need for a colonoscopy.
Thank you very much.
