After the colon is examined under the fluoroscope, the Technologist is instructed by the Radiologist to obtain certain views for best visualization of the bowel. The procedure moves very quickly and the patient is then allowed to empty the enema. Sometimes a post-evacuation film is requested as part of the procedure. The parents are not allowed in the X-ray room during the procedure. They can, however, wait with the child before and after the X-rays are done.
Any questions concerning the procedures are welcome.
