Service Providers for Digital Cologram/Loopogram (Barium enema) through colostomy opening
A Digital Cologram/Loopogram (Barium Enema) through a Colostomy Opening is a specialized imaging procedure used to evaluate the colon and surrounding structures in patients with a colostomy. In this procedure, a barium contrast material is introduced directly into the colon via the colostomy opening. X-ray images are then taken to assess the colon's function, detect blockages, inflammation, or structural abnormalities, and evaluate the patency of the colostomy. The procedure can also help assess the position and function of the stoma. Preparation may include bowel cleansing and fasting. Risks include mild discomfort, bloating, or potential allergic reactions to the barium.
