Digital Cologram/Loopogram (Barium enema) through colostomy opening

The Digital Cologram/Loopogram (Barium enema) through colostomy opening is a diagnostic imaging test that involves the introduction of a contrast material called barium into the colostomy stoma, allowing for detailed X-ray visualization of the colon and rectum. This procedure helps healthcare providers assess the anatomy and function of the bowel, identify abnormalities, and guide further treatment options. It is typically performed in a radiology department and may require some preparation beforehand, which your healthcare team will explain to you.
