The technique of performing a water soluble contrast enema is virtually identical to that for a single contrast barium enema. Because(1) the goals of the water soluble contrast enema are usually very limited and specific and(2) the colon has not been cleansed of feces, there is no need to take radiographs of every little filling defect. It is often more informative to watch the head of the barium column luoroscopically and take spot images only when pathology is detected. 2, record 3, English, - water%20soluble%20contrast%20enema

Hard, scab-like spots on the infected fruit are characteristic symptoms of nailhead spot. The spots are dark brown and usually small, and the discoloration extends beneath each spot into the flesh of the fruit. Like early blight, it causes leaf defoliation. Because most modern cultivars are resistant, this disease is not important. 3, record 5, English, - nailhead%20spot

La tête de clou, causée par l'Alternaria tomato, ressemble à de nombreux égards à la brûlure alternarienne, avec laquelle on peut la confondre. Cependant, les taches dures, qui ressemblent à celles de la gale sur les fruits infectés, sont un symptôme caractéristique de cette maladie. Les taches sont d'habitude petites et d'un brun sombre, et la décoloration s'étend sous la peau dans la chair du fruit. Comme dans le cas de la brûlure alternarienne, cette maladie provoque la chute des feuilles. Avec l'arrivée des nouveaux cultivars résistants, l'importance de cette maladie diminue rapidement. 2, record 5, French, - t%C3%AAte%20de%20clou
