Contribution of a diluted barium contrast agent for gastrointestinal opacification in abdominal CT
- 1. Hopital Tenon, 75 - Paris (France)
Description
Computed tomography is the gold standard technique for abdominal examination with a sliced-imaging modality, because actually US and MRI are not as available for studying hollow viscera. Oral opacification is necessary to analyze bowel loops, and complete iodinated venous injection which is indispensable to examine intra-abdominal organs. Oral administration of a baryum diluted contrast agent, is discussed in terms of tolerance, efficacy and administration mode
Abstract (French)
La tomodensiometrie est consideree comme une technique de reference dans l'exploration de la pathologie abdominale, d'autant qu'a l'heure actuelle, echographie et IRM sont moins performantes dans l'etude des organes creux. L'analyse par tomodensitometrie des anses digestives, necessite leur opacification par voie orale, qui complete l'opacification par voie veineuse indispensable a l'etude des organes pleins. L'apport des barytes diluees administrees par voie orale, est discutee en termes de tolerance, efficacite et mode d'administrationAdditional details
