Popis:	The growing importance of silicones in industry has stimulated investigation into the possible medical applications of these versatile substances. This report is concerned with an attempt to utilize liquid methyl silicone as an agent to improve the mucosal detail in roentgen visualization of the colon. The silicones have several interesting and important physical characteristics. They are insoluble in water and alcohol, re-heren sistant to oxidation and chemical agents, and able to withstand high temperatures. They are neutral in reaction and generally non-volatile and non-crystalline. They are good dielectrics, and have been shown to be inert to and not attacked by micro-organisms (1). Previous experimental work revealed an adherence of emulsified combinations of thrombin and silicone to glass tubes and stomach mucosa (2). This adherence of the silicones and their lack of toxicity (1, 3) make them of particular interest to the roentgenologist and suggest that a similar combination of barium and silicone ...
