In simple words: This procedure uses X-rays to examine your small intestine. A tube is inserted through your nose or mouth and into your small intestine.A special dye (barium) and air are then introduced through the tube to improve the X-ray images. Multiple pictures are taken as the dye moves through your intestines.A medicine called glucagon may also be given to help relax the intestines.

This code represents a radiologic examination of the small intestine using a double-contrast method. It involves taking multiple serial images of the small intestine after administering high-density barium and air through an enteroclysis tube.A scout abdominal radiograph may also be taken before the contrast is instilled. The procedure may include the administration of glucagon. The enteroclysis tube is placed through the nose or mouth and advanced into the small intestine. The high-density barium coats the lining of the intestines, while the air expands the lumen for better visualization. Multiple X-rays are taken as the contrast flows through the bowel, and the flow is observed via fluoroscopy.

Example 1: A patient presents with abdominal pain and suspected Crohn's disease. An enteroclysis study is performed to evaluate the small intestine for inflammation or strictures., A patient has a history of small bowel obstruction. A double-contrast enteroclysis is ordered to assess the current state of the bowel and identify any potential blockages., A patient experiences chronic diarrhea and weight loss. The physician orders a small bowel enteroclysis to investigate the cause of these symptoms and rule out malabsorption or other intestinal disorders.

Documentation should include relevant clinical history, reason for the study, administration of contrast and glucagon (if given), technical details of the procedure, and interpretation of the findings. Images and a final report are also required.
