Title: The adhesiometer: a simple device to measure adherence of barium sulfate to intestinal mucosa. Author: Salomonowitz E, Frick MP, Cragg AH, Lund G. Journal: AJR Am J Roentgenol; 1984 Apr; 142(4):721-3. PubMed ID: 6608230.

In both pigs and dogs, barium adherence to gastric mucosa was significantly stronger when compared with colonic mucosa.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
