 Contrast study of GIT

• The most commonly employed medium in present day radiography of the gastrointestinal
tract is barium sulphate in water suspension.
• 125 gm of barium sulfate powder to 180 ml of water is adequate in most patients.
• If the small intestines are to be examined an additional 120 to 180 ml of the mixture should
be given routinely.
