Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Low radioactive barium is swallowed as contrast medium for the X-ray film. It shows the duodenum, the first portion of the bowel after the stomach, packed with worms. The worms are the black areas showing up as a tangled mass within the white of the contrast medium. It is believed that this is a natural part of the ascaris' daily round but predisposes to migration into the biliary tree.
Duodenum: The first portion of the bowel after the stomach. Bile drains from the liver into the duodenum through a duct that emerges at the Ampulla of Vater....this reflects the first description of this duct by Vater in the 17th century. The "Barium meal" is an X-ray technique where the patient swallows a metallic-based fluid (Barium is the metal) which shows up as white on an X-ray film. The radiologist can watch what happens as this fluid is swallowed and as it goes on down through the stomach and small intestine.
