•Rodney WM, Randolph
JF, Peterson D. Cancellation rates and
gas scores for air contrast barium enema after 65 cm flexible sigmoidocopy. J Clin Gastroenterolgy 1988;10:311-314.
•Based on the “scout film”, cancellation rates were significant [14%] among patients reporting to radiology without anything other than following the routine bowel preparation given to them by the department of
radiology; ie one in seven
patients could not comply with the protocol.
Another 20% did not show up.
