Abstract
As with the upper GI series, the barium enema can be performed in either a single- or double-contrast fashion. In single-contrast studies the colon is filled only with barium. This demonstrates an extrinsic displacement of the colon, such as might be seen in a pelvic mass in a patient with a gynecological malignancy, to the greatest advantage.
