AB  - Imaging  of  the  hollow  organs  of  the  gastrointestinal  tract  began  over  a  century  ago  with  the  use  of  heavy  metal  salts.  Barium  sulfate  suspensions  emerged  as  the  contrast  agent  of  choice  for  examination  of  the  gastrointestinal  tract.  By  the  1970s,  other  imaging  modalities,  including  endoscopy  and  computed  tomographic  (CT)  examination,  appeared  and  have  developed  into  alternate  ways  of  imaging  the  hollow  gastrointestinal  organs.
