This contribution covers the X-ray documentation of primary coloscopy findings in 29 patients. High coloscopy as a primary method of diagnosis used to have the disadvantage that when dealing with a circumscribed lesion requiring surgery, a barium enema had to be administered on order to localize it and determine its extent. The endoscopic-radiological coloscopy method described here combines primary coloscopy with a spatial visualization of the colon on an X-ray picture. It should bei applied wherever coloscopy is used as the primary method of examining the colon.
