Conduct of the examination

 

Our digital technology allows for a moderate dose of radiation. In the case of a specific exploration of the digestive tract, you shall be asked to drink a contrast medium or to accept the introduction of contrast into the colon. Pictures are taken in different positions depending on the part of the body studied.

 

 

Implications

 

The X-rays used are generally to be avoided by pregnant women.

It is therefore imperative to report if you are pregnant or could be pregnant.
