GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT WALL VISUALIZATION AND DISTENTION DURING ABDOMINAL AND PELVIC MULTIDETECTOR CT WITH A NEUTRAL BARIUM SULPHATE SUSPENSION: COMPARISON WITH POSITIVE BARIUM SULPHATE SUSPENSION AND WITH WATER

Abstract

Objective: When examining patients with contrast-enhanced multidetector-row CT, we determined if the stomach and small bowel were visualized and distended better with a neutral barium sulphate suspension than with positive barium sulphate suspension or water.
