A member asked:
What does "distal decending colon remaining on barium enema" mean in regards to the results from a barium enema test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Non Sequitur: Isolated phrase taken out of context is uninterpretable. They may be addressing residual Barium contrast remaining in descending colon on post evacuation film, which is of no clinical significance
