Value of Osmotic mannitol as an oral contrast medium for MRI inspection of small intestine

Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the value of Osmotic mannitol as an oral contrast medium for MRI inspection of small intestine.Methods Twenty voluntees were decided into 2 groups at random,there are 10 people in ench group,they drunk mixed solution and 2.5% osmotic mannitol respectively.Compared the 2 groups infects from expantion degree,imaging quality and adverse reaction.Results There were no significant difference between two groups in mean expantion degree and adverse reaction(P0.05),mixed solution was superior to 2.5% osmotic mannitol in expantion degree and imaging quality of the fourth,fifth,sixth group small intestine.Conclusion Osmotic mannitol were proved as a good oral contrast agent for MRI inspection of small intestine,mixed solution was superior to 2.5% osmotic mannitol in expantion degree and imaging quality.
