Which position best demonstrate the hepatic flexure of the colon?Which of the following barium-filled anatomic structures is best demonstrated in the LAO position? closer to the IR. Therefore, the LAO position will "open up" the splenic flexure, and the RAO will demonstrate the hepatic flexure. The AP oblique positions (RPO and LPO) demonstrate the side farther from the IR.
Which of the following positions will best demonstrate an open the hepatic flexure of the large bowel during a air contrast barium enema?Lower GI Positioning. Which of the following positions would the patient be in during the insertion of an enema tip?Position the patient on left side, lying with the knees drawn to the abdomen (Fig 2). This eases the passage and flow of fluid into the rectum.
Which of the FF position demonstrates the hepatic flexure and adjacent portion of the colon?The LPO and RAO positions are used to demonstrate the hepatic flexure and ascending colon free of self-superimposition. The distal ileum is well visualized (number 6), as well as the commencement of the large bowel—the cecum (number 4)—and its vermiform appendix (number 5).
