A member asked:
Does a fluoroscopic single contrast enema exam only reveal large intestines? if not. what other organs does it show.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes,: It is performed specifically to evaluate the colon/large intestine. Since X-rays of the whole abdomen are performed as part of the procedure, it could provide limited evaluation of other structures such as the lumbosacral spine.
