Aim:The usefulness of high-density barium, which was made to 150w/v% (MIX150), was examined to obtain better radiographs of the intestines. Methods: “MIX150” was compared with existing pharmaceutical “BAM100” to evaluate x-ray images (barium adhesion, dryness evaluation). MIX150 was used in 232 patients (mean age 56 years), while BAM 100 in 210 patients (mean age 55 years). Results: In terms of adhesion, MIX150 was excellent in the the cecum significantly and in dryness evaluation, in the entire region of the colon. Conclusion: High-density barium (150w/v%) was useful for enhancing the quality of radiographic images.
