Comparison of barium and diatrizoate bowel labelling agents in computed tomography.
A new suspension of barium sulphate, E-Z-CAT, for use as a bowel labelling agent in computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen and pelvis, has been compared with diatrizoate (Gastrografin) in 111 patients. The E-Z-CAT labelled the duodenum more efficiently and patients preferred its taste. Both substances are satisfactory bowel-labelling agents.
