Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Barium enema is primarily performed to detect polyps, tumors, and lesions in the colon and rectum. It involves the use of barium, a contrast material that is swallowed or inserted into the rectum to help produce clear X-ray images of the lower digestive tract. Hiatal hernia, esophageal varices, and kidney blockage are not typically diagnosed with a barium enema.
