IT>EN Verniciamento (barium enemas)

[Guest guest]

IMHO, it is " Coating " .

" double-contrast examination " , radiological examination of the stomach or

intestine using first a high concentration of contrast medium and, after

most of that has been evacuated, injection of air or an effervescent

substance to inflate the organ; the light coating of contrast medium on the

mucosal surface reveals clearly any abnormalities. In the intestine this is

called a double-contrast enema.
