摘要:
ABSTRACTA 12.5% corn oil‐emulsion (COE) was tested as an oral contrast agent for abdominal computed tomography (CT) examinations in 100 patients. The results were compared with those obtained from another group of patients who received a conventional, high‐density, oral contrast agent (2–3% iodinated solution). There was no statistically significant difference in the subjects' tolerance to the two agents (P>0.05). There was, however, a significant improvement in image quality with COE (P>0.005). Gastrointestinal tract discrimination, and mucosal and mural visualisation was of higher quality with fat density oral contrast medium than with the high‐density contrast agent. These data suggest that COE should be considered for routine use as an alternative to conventional high density oral contrast agents in upper abdom
