Why is it important for the technologist to review the patient's chart and inform the radiologist before beginning the barium enema examination if a biopsy was performed as part of a prior sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy procedure?
A) A sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy would make the BE examination unnecessary.
B) The biopsy of the colon may weaken that portion of the colon, which could lead to a perforation during the BE examination.
C) The radiologist would want to confer with the referring physician to see whether the biopsy revealed a malignancy.
D) None of the above; the radiologist does not need to know this information before the BE examination.
