MR Cholangiopancreatography: Does butylscopolamine (Buscopan®) make a difference to ductal visualization?

چکیده
INTRODUCTION: Heavily T2-weighted high-resolution 3D sequences using respiratory compensation methods have become the standard for magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) examinations [1]. Due to the long acquisition time, this type of sequence is susceptible to motion artifact from surrounding bowel structures. Butylscopolamine (Buscopan® Boehringer Ingelheim GmbH) is often used as an anti-peristaltic agent to arrest bowel motion during radiologic studies and its use has been reported in MRCP studies [2][3]. Despite its use, the effect of butylscopolamine on image quality for the pancreaticobiliary system in MRCP examinations remains unvalidated.

Functional Monitoring of Small Bowel Motility: Comparison of Spasmolysis Induced by Glucagon or Buscopan
Purpose: Peristalsis of the small bowel leads to considerable movement artifacts in MR-examinations, which hamper diagnostic quality [1, 2]. Therefore a spasmolytic premedication agent is commonly administered intravenously to inhibit bowel motion, shortly before performing the abdominal imaging studies. Two main paralyzing agents, hyoscine N-butylbromide (HBB; Buscopan Boehringer Ingelheim, Ge...

Forty-seven patients with acute renal colic were treated with either tenoxicam 20 mg i.v. or buscopan compositum (hyoscine butylbromide 20 mg and dipyrone 2.5 g) i.v. in a double blind study. Renal colic was diagnosed with use of a general urine examination, intravenous urogram, ultrasonography or voiding of calculus. The severity of symptoms were assessed by a verbal six point scale. Results d...

Purpose: Prolong labour contributes to increased perinatal and maternal morbidity. Inhibitory impulses in the form of spasm often impair the dilatation of cervix and prolong the duration of labour. This study was undertaken to compare the effect of intramuscular Valathemate bromide [Epidosin] and Hyoscine N Butylbromide [Buscopan] rectal suppository on duration of labour and rate of cervical di...

Context. One of the characteristic findings of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) is the presence of a direct communication between the lesion and the ductal pancreatic system and when magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) shows uncertain findings, it is useful to perform a MRCP after secretin stimulation (MRCP-S) which provides a better visualization of the ductal sys...

The present study aimed to compare two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) for the assessment of pancreatic cystic lesions. Between February 2009 and December 2011, 35 patients that had been diagnosed with pancreatic cystic lesions, which was confirmed by surgery and pathology, underwent pre-operative 2D or 3D MRCP for pre-operative eva...
