This book deals mainly with technique, experiences and results of the biphasic small bowel enema (enteroclysis) with barium and methylcellulose. The method allows the evaluation of both, morphology and function of the small bowel. The introduction describes the examination technique, basic patterns, interpretation and indications, while the atlas shows a broad spectrum of small bowel diseases (Crohn's disease, other inflammatory diseases, tumors, motility disorders, obstructions and malformations). The possibilities of small bowel radiology are demonstrated with reference to clinical findings and differential diagnoses.
