The reliability of the results of a bowel examination depends, first of all, on the correct preparation of the bowel for this procedure. Bowel examination methods include fibrocolonoscopy, rectoscopy, and irrigoscopy.
Irrigoscopy is used for a detailed and thorough examination of the intestines. Traditional X-rays are not always suitable for this, since the intestines are very difficult to see against the background of surrounding organs and tissues, they are not radiopaque.
