An enema (plural enemata or enemas) is the procedure of introducing liquids into the rectum and colon via the anus. A barium enema is used as a contrast substance in the radiological imaging of the bowel. The enema may contain barium sulfate powder, or a water-soluble contrast agent. Barium enemas are sometimes the only practical way to "view" the colon in a relatively safe manner.
