Contrast medium precipitation in the stomach between contiguous plain and contrast CT scans.
Precipitation of diluted Gastrografin (meglumine sodium amidotrizoate) occurred in the stomach during computed tomography (CT) examination in a 43-year-old man with fasting. Precipitation was not observed on the initial plain CT scan, but was demonstrated on the contrast-enhanced CT scan following the plain CT. Hyperacidity in the stomach might be promoted during CT examination and cause precipitation between scans.
