ObjectiveTo improve the efficacy of colon doublecontrast barium enema examination by using digital gastrointestinal machine and modified enema techniques. MethodsSixtyfour patients were examined on digital remote controlled gyration table, with oral coloncleansing preparation and selfmade disposable plastic bag. Results In 64 patients, up to 93.8% were found with none or little fecal materials in the cecum and ascending colon. 80% of the results were scored excellent, and 95% were accurate for making diagnosis. All the patients underwent the examination successfully. ConclusionDigital gastrointestinal machine examination combined with modified hypotonic doublecontrast barium enema is a simple, convenient and efficient way to clearly demonstrate colonic mucosa, and help increase the detection and diagnosis rate.
