Per-rectal contrast material for abdominal CT: usefulness of administration with an automatic injector.
Adequate distention of the gastrointestinal tract is essential for the best quality image in abdominal computed tomography. We introduce a new technique for per-rectal administration of contrast material with the use of an automatic injector. With this technique, more contrast material can be inserted and thus adequately distend the colon, including the proximal colon.
