چکیده
PURPOSE To optimize the dose of a hydro solution containing 2.5% mannitol and 0.2% locust bean gum (LBG) for small bowel MRI in terms of bowel distension and patient acceptance. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 10 healthy volunteers ingested a hydro solution containing 2.5% mannitol and 0.2% LBG. Four different volumes (1500, 1200, 1000, and 800 ml) were assessed on four different examination days. Small bowel distension was quantified on coronal two-dimensional TrueFISP images by measuring the diameter of eight bowel loops throughout the jejunum and the ileum. In addition, volunteer acceptance was evaluated for every single examination by using a questionnaire. RESULTS Optimal distension was obtained with either, 1000, 1200, or 1500 ml, with no statistically significant differences in distension between these groups. Administration of 800 ml led to significantly less distension of the small bowel. Significantly less side effects were noted using either 800 or 1000 ml compared to using larger volumes. CONCLUSION We recommend a dose of 1000 ml mannitol/LBG solution as an oral contrast agent for optimal bowel distension and minimal side effects.

Stimulation of colonic motility by oral PEG electrolyte bowel preparation assessed by MRI: comparison of split vs single dose
BACKGROUND Most methods of assessing colonic motility are poorly acceptable to patients. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can monitor gastrointestinal motility and fluid distributions. We predicted that a dose of oral polyethylene glycol (PEG) and electrolyte solution would increase ileo-colonic inflow and stimulate colonic motility. We aimed to investigate the colonic response to distension by...
متن کاملComparison of Water, Mannitol and Positive Oral Contrast for Evaluation of Bowel By Computed Tomography
IntrOductIOn Imaging of the bowel has been a challenge to the radiologists. Each imaging modality has its own merits and demerits. The small bowel is always a challenging area for surgeon and gastroenterologist because of its long length and patients with bowel pathology present with vague symptoms. Barium investigation is less sensitive [1,2]. Capsule endoscopy gives a lot of information about...

Biliary atresia is characterized by the progressive obliteration of extra- and intrahepatic biliary duct system leading to the obstruction of bile flow in infancy. The cause(s) of biliary atresia remain unclear and many surgical options for bypassing the atretic segment have been described.1-3 Biliary atresia may be associated with small bowel atresia. The surgical interventions for biliary dr...
متن کاملBowel preparation for performing a colonoscopy: prospective randomized comparison study between a low-volume solution of polyethylene glycol and bisacodyl versus bisacodyl and a mannitol solution.
CONTEXT Colonoscopy is currently the gold standard method to examine the colon, the rectum and the terminal ileum. In order to perform the colonoscopy, it is necessary to clean the bowel and use medications that are generally poorly tolerated by the patients. OBJECTIVE Compare the tolerability, acceptability, safety and efficacy of two solutions used for intestinal preparation for a colonosco...
متن کاملSmall field size dose-profile measurements: A comparison between Eclipse™ treatment planning system with NIPAM polymer gel dosimeter dose measurement
Introduction: Three physical conditions caused an external beam designated as a small field. The first is the loss of lateral charged particle equilibrium. The second is the effect of collimators on the primary photon source occlusion. The third condition is the size of the detector which is large compared to the field size. The most obvious perturbation effects in last condit...
